The size of the update was 3.1GB & 1.1GB respectively. But when I paused the update of ets2 for a reason & resume it, it becomes only 189.4 MB. But ats is still 1.1 GB It's really confusing. But it happens several times in both games. Does anyone know the reason?
Big downloads like those on Steam or other game portals aren't just plain downloads. There's a lot of compression on there to reduce as much as possible the consumed bandwidth. You can look at your computer's CPU activity while downloading to see it for yourself; or some videos on Youtube showing how a way more capable computer is able to download way faster (even if the connection to the server is exactly the same).

What you see in the download counter of Steam is a huge simplification of the process. When you press stop, you are stopping the real download; but the decompression still happens in the background. But the counter shows you what it has been downloaded and processed, only that it doesn't change when the process is stopped. That's why it re-checks on the restart of the process to find a big part of the download has already been finished.

Never had that, maybe there are still some services running and to be closed on the task manager?

They should close after some time you close the app without manual interference.

I get this sometimes with games if i restart them too fast after they close, usually waiting a little longer always solved the problem as they close by themselves after a few seconds.

Maybe reinstall steam with restarts in between the operations.

Control alt delete, manually end any steam processes that never shut down in the background. Then fire steam back up. That should work.
In a world full of swift drivers, I'm an O/O.
