i actually thought of something like this before-
set up kindof like real steam but when you go to a game instead of going to the purchase page or whatever it will show you the download links or let you download the gcfs/ncfs/content files right away
maybe have a launcher built-in too

I'm actually about to start to make a proper client-server-database with java and it will probably take at least a few months just to build a solid framework for it.
As for the thread, you have to be really creative and plan out the ideas on what and what not to put in your application.

Yes, this is the idea, you can download the GCF files for the game you want, and play normally...

No, the login is exclusive to this project, no login from real Steam.

Currently, i'm planning to don't use a specific server, use just a website with the php server files and the server database, and the client connect to the site and download the response string, for example:
client sends:
http://www.site.com/register.php?user=username&pass=password&why=whyareyouusingfreesteam
server reply:
ok|Message from server
or:
error|Error string
Probably, in newers versions, the server will send RC4 encrypted data...
Edit:
Here is a prototype to the main window:
Edit2:
The project will need some people in staff, to verify uploaded gcfs, etc...
