Valve is moving everything from their old Content Delivery Network to the newer SteamPipe CDN. They seem to be aiming to shut down the old network by the end of the year.

Edit (2013/11/13): Valve has shut down their old CDN and now everything is on SteamPipe.

SteamPipe supports HTTP downloads rather than using whatever proprietary protocol Valve was using before.

Unfortunately, Valve must have had issues with large files on it, because they claim GCF files aren't supported any more. Valve's own Source games have all switched over to VPK files instead, which are limited to around 100MB-200MB each.
