Steampowered.com's support area says this for error 1334:
If you get this error, you need to restart Steam, let Steam update and then restart your installer again. Steam will rename and update the missing files and your installation should continue normally.
Make sure you install both HL2 and CS:Source (not just HL2).

I've looked it up on the steam website but have found nothing so far. why is it not connecting? I am connected at the moment so it should update, right?
