There are no patches for Valve games to be found using google.
They are only gained via steam.

Go into Steam settings, then to downloads. Change the download setting from 56K to your actual connection speed.

change the location of your download server to somewhere less busy. Maybe a neighboring country or something. Helps for me, when it gets slow.

@Dalkor: no your not. ;-)
