As NoToRiOuS reported yesterday a lot of people were having problems with STEAM and connecting to HL, CS, DoD etc... Well Greg Coomer has released this statement on the STEAM news page:
We have identified a bug in the recent update which was causing Steam users to download much more content than was necessary. This was overloading the network and not allowing people to play games, so we have reverted back to the previous version for now. There will probably be some network congestion due to all this for the next couple of hours or so.
So if you've been having problems this morning you know why. I also read something interesting on PHL which stated that something called 'trickle update' is something VALVe are toying with which will automatically download parts of upcoming games such as Counter-Strike: Condition Zero in the background meaning there is less to download on the multiplayer side when/if you purchase the game.
