Does that happen with all games or some of them? After finding only way too many unsatisfactorily answered questions identical to this, I came to the conclusion that Steam sucks and just decided to live with it.
My Steam wants to validate TF2 at least every other day for some reason, which takes a good 5 to 10 minutes.

It appears to compare checksums of your local files with the cloud and will re-download any invalid files again.
As to why the validation is happening automatically after updates download for these two games. I don't know, it doesn't make much sense, since the download just happened and should not have been corrupt. But I agree, it is annoying.
