I had that too. What I did was stop the download, add something else to the downloader, move the new thing to the top of the downloader (I used Total Annihilation Extras package, but anything should do, you can drag and drop it to the top to give it download priority) and let the new thing finish downloading. After that, my The Witcher 2 download resumed like it hadn't had any problems at all.
I think those were the important steps. I did try all kinds of things before, like removing it from the downloader and re-adding it (doesn't delete your progress, btw) multiple times, and restarting the downloader and rebooting. That adding other stuff, moving it to the top and letting it finish was the thing that finally worked.
/edit: Some of the free games are really small. You could try it with one of those.
