Valve ask the Half-Life community to help track down the crackers who nabbed the Half-Life 2 source tree and leaked it.

Talk about building the hype. Half-Life 2 has been downloaded onto my system but I can't touch it. As a Steam subscriber, I've taken up the offer to "pre-load" the game for when it is released.
