SteamPipe is Steam's new content distribution system. It changes the way games (including dedicated servers) are downloaded, updated and stored. More information can be found on the Steam Support page.

The benefits to players are:

• Faster and smoother downloads
• Faster game boot times and map load times
• Easier distribution, installation, and management of mods
• Smoother dedicated server distribution and update rollover
