Well, since its actually downloading, but slowly, I have nothing to suggest.. apart from; is your internet working properly??
Only thing I can suggest is reinstalling, then im out of ideas

Their server must be sucking right now. Email tech support?

for four days?

valve makes steam, which is why I said valve was clogged since their servers are slow

lol im pretty sure its just your connection to valve is sucking,
like
there are streets that connect big cities to big cities then little places get branched off
in your case, you are on a small place, that has to travel to other small places in order to hook up to the big city, making the commute to that city super slow.
It also may be that Steam's highways are congested.
Nice analogy, eh?
