This is a fault in Steam when Steam doesn't shutdown properly on your PC and Valve doesn't care about improving it.

That's all your workshop content. Let me guess, you installed on a new computer and you had a bunch of wallpapers on the old one already subbed?

Nope. Didn't reinstall at all.

I had a wallpaper that never began to download so I eventually unsubscribed from it. Nothing happened, it didn't get removed from the list. So after waiting awhile I simply re-started Wallpaper Engine. This 5.3 GB "update" is what was presented to me and I had to wait for all 5.3 GBs to download so that the original 1.3 GB wallpaper would finish downloading so that I could unsubscribe from it. :|

So in other words, Steam's Workshop shat all over itself.

Huh. Well hopefully that doesn't happen again. Only time I saw a large update is when I did what I assumed you did.

Steam's download cache can get messed up and then it will just re-download things you already have. Unfortunately Valve didn't code it to just check if the files exist already and then verify those instead of downloading it all over again (afaik).

I only had this once myself when I crashed Steam forcefully, but I'm pretty sure other things can cause it too.
