How do I manual install the alpha patch?

I've accidentally deleted the ns2 alpha patch from my steam download list when removing other items. Now I can't seem to get the update to install. Does anyone have a solution?

    Remove whole local content and reinstall? Should install the newest version.

    That should not be necessary.
    Try right-clicking NS2 in Steam, Properties, Local Files tab, Verify

    OK i did the above, Local Files, Verify. and it went through the process and now replies "All Files Succesfully Validated" and nothing much else happens. Hmmm Thanks for the suggestions i would download it all again but my DSL is limited to 20GB.

    Hmmm I'll probably have to wait for the next patch to come through before i can play i reckon.

    I assume you've already tried restarting Steam?

    Another thing to try is to Right-click on the Natural Selection 2 entry in Steam and goto
    Properties > Local Files > Verify Integrity of Game Chache

    That will check to make sure all your files match the ones on the servers and are up-to-date, and fix any that happen to be broken.

    Are you sure you don't have the latest updates already? Open the game, pull down the console and it should be the first line. Current build is 150. Previous build is 149.
