steam problem

Hi my mate cannot get into Steam to play any of his games, steam was updating when he lost his internet connection for good, is there anywhere that i can download the steam updates so he can manually install them.

Oh I thought you meant games, NO steam cannot be updated manually from what I understand.

Steam is not for you if you don't have an active internet connection. He's going to have to bring the computer somewhere to let it finish updating everything and switch to offline mode before disconnecting again.
