btw for any one interested ...
i downloaded the hldsupdatetool
i made a dir on my c: called srcds and copied the hldsupdate tool there ...
i ran this which installed the latest hldsupdatetool
i then opened a dos window changed dir to
cd program files\valve\hlserver
and from that dir i ran
hldsupdatetool -command update -game "tf" -dir c:\srcds
it crashed twice so i deleted the data ran the update command again and it worked ^^
the full TF2 DS DL was 2.47 gig so be prepared for a wait lol
