Somehow, since TF2 release, update tool started downloading A LOT client files. L4D and L4D2, as I remember, ~300MB we get dll files. I understand, that client.dll is needed to verify CRC. But why the hell we need video files, Xbox configs, and client platform dll's? By disabling these on server download, VALVE would save hundreds of terabytes traffic, per month.
