Edit: Yeah it works. The Portal demo is 6 gigs though. :S
Found this online: "Whenever you download a game that is based on Valve's HL2-engine, it comes with tons of shared files, that contain data that is used by lots of games. The problem is, that usually only a small amount of data is even used by the game, yet you have to download and store those huge files on your disc just to play a small game.
Portal is an excellent example for that. It's a pretty small game, yet gets bloated immensely when being offered as separate download."
Also apparently this has been on since January? Unless they stopped/started again just now.
Given that HL2: DM has had trouble keeping a crowd since launch it's not suprising to see them pitching it to the masses to keep it alive.
ATI current game pack
Still neat, though. It works well with the Orange Box, as it doesn't come with HL2
