When you have a retail version you should not have to download any files to play the game other then maybe a small update or 2 of Counter-Strike:Source(witch should not take more then 10mins). Half-life2 Does require a internet connection to authenticate the game and make it available in offline mode.
online auth is a sort of copy protection.
