Start the download, then pause it, find the directory it made then put the game in said directory, at that point shut down steam and restart it. try and resume the download it will say something along the lines of "discovering existing files" at that point just let it do its thing if it doesnt say "discovering existing files" its not working correctly, lettme know I can try and be more specific since I did this with GTA5.

There is also (At least there was before) an option to Backup game, it creates one big file(or more files if you want) and then you can copy it to another computer and use option Restore and choose the file.
