Can't install Skyrim?

Hi! I recently uninstalled Skyrim from steam and now i want to install it again. However when i try to install it says: The steam server are currently too busy to handle your request. Please try again in a few minutes. It's been like this for a week now. I've tried contacting Steam and steam forums but nothing works.


I've tried everything the Steam support guys are throwing at me and nothing seems to work.

Try refreshing ClientRegistry.blob
That's the usual solution to these things.
