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.

is there anyway to fix this yet ? i have to redownload 2.3gb, this happened to me like 3 times since in the past 2 weeks. it might be when open wallpaper engine and click on one of the downloading wallpapers while steam is downloading something from workshop

You can fix Steams download file like described here in the ARMA 3 thread: http://steamcommunity.com/app/431960/discussions/2/2595630410191627299/

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