Steam mods not working right no matter what I do.

[Draegon]

So for the past day and a half I've been trying to get the mods via steam to work right but no matter what I do to try and fix it they just say downloading. It works temporarily when I delete certain things but oddly it'll still have one thing under all the mods that says "downloading" even when everything has finished so I believe it's a steam issue but I'm not sure. I really hope that someone can help me with this as it's so much easier to get mods via steam.

Where is it saying downloading? In the steam client? In the control-tab thing?
