The steam up dates for Counter Strike Source takes forever. I left my computer on for 16 hours I got from 1% to 32%. Then the next day I left it on for the whole day and got only 20% more. Why doesn't steam tell us how big are the updates are??

Well i am updating now, and it has taken 10 minutes and there is 1 minute left to go.
It really depends on what speed you have. I have crappy 512, but its better then 56k.

it took 5 minutes for me but i have cable. you might look and see if any other games are updating at the same time, and if there are just right click them and click pause update. (seems to speed things up for me at least)

Yes, whenever multiple item(s) are downloading updates, they share the bandwidth. So if your download speed is 100Kb/s, then HL2 would be downloading @ 50Kb/s and HL2 Lost Coast would be downloading @ 50Kb/s if those were the 2 things downloading. I just let them all share bandwidth instead of pausing one.

Maybe he just tried to download the updates at a particularly busy time for the Steam servers...
