I'm talking about the updates to Steam itself, not the game. The game updates are reasonable. Also I only have 2.5 MbPS download connection (320KBPS download speed) because decent speeds are still insanely expensive here due to a crappy duopoly of Internet infrastructure providers, greedy ISPs and crappy politics. (Some good changes are going on though, and this slow nightmare will end in the next few years hopefully)
But anyway, as someone who doesn't use Steam quite often (Once a month or so, but that'll change in a few hours :P) I find it very annoying to have a client update every time I run it, it usually takes 5 minutes to download (I don't remember the size, but either it's too big for a minor update of a relatively small application, or their update servers are WAY too slow), and I don't plan to do anything with the client other than launching a game.
