If it works the same as when Left for Dead 2 was temporarily free, you'll still keep the game if it hasn't finished downloading at the time it's no longer free; simply having had the download active was enough to keep the game permanently.
sinugie: nah simply claimed is enough for l4d2. i not keep dl active and still keep it
Yeah, I'm not saying you had to keep it active, but did you start to download it during the time it was free? That's what was said by Valve anyway, partial DL would be enough, but just adding it to the library would not. Probably so people with slow internet wouldn't get screwed over. I downloaded the whole thing at the time, so I don't know firsthand, but anyway, that was the official word.
