Steam Update

The Steam News Page (thanks Frans) has details on this week's update to the broadband content delivery system. There's a lengthy list of what's fixed and changed, preceded by this note about the update that includes word that Windows game servers are going to require a manual restart:
We have released a game engine update via Steam this evening. This release includes a number of additions and bug fixes, including one which should clear up the remaining cases of the authentication error people have been getting today.

Server admins please note that this release will require all game servers to restart. If you run a server on Windows, you'll need to restart manually; Linux servers will restart automatically if the server admin has enabled that option.

My experience:
Install, crash, uninstall, re-install, run, connect with my 56k modem (you know the connection that 73% of internet users still have to use), starts downloading on and on and on dispite having the games I want to play already installed, 4 hours later my connection drops (that's the way my isp works), steam is "supposed" to resume HA no such luck, starts from the beginning again, repeat.
I paid my money to Valve and they have ripped me off of my right to play online (once Won goes down). They will NOT be getting any more of my money. Might have to pirate HL2.
UP YOURS VALVE!!
