Wait so we have to download 3.5GB of data? Is there any other way of getting it? Can I just copy+paste from someone elses directory?

If they have downloaded it already then yes. Just make sure you both have steam closed at the time. Also - backup your own config files.

Why have both closed? I was just going to copy paste certain map files etc across?

You'd have to copy the whole lot across because it is quite possible that the update isn't just a DLC update but contains other smaller changes to key files; files which wont be map files or such, for example there will be a changed menu and god knows which file that is in.

Ok so I should be able to just copy paste across his l4d folder to mine and then re paste my config folder to overwrite his and all should be good?

Well, I'd love to find out how the game is, but the only message I've gotten for two days is 'This Game is Unavailable, please try again later.' Slightly ticked off about it.

Same. But I'm hoping by Saturday it's working fine again.
