Most have speculated that the vastly increased client timeouts have been the result of the huge player influx. Add the mac users to the free weekend people, and together they are probably taxing the steam servers pretty hard.
My suggestion is twofold. First, change your steam download server location. Try not to pick one that is a major US region. This is under steam settings in the "downloads" tab. Second, in TF2 multiplayer advanced options, deselect "sync with the steam cloud."
I'm not sure if one or both of these are responsible, but after I changed these I went from being kicked 15 times an hour to not at all.
