SteamCMD update failing - Starbound

[mensch]

Hello,

I am trying to install the Starbound server files for my unmanaged VPS, but SteamCMD keeps on failing: http://cl.ly/image/1s0z1t2o0z1U The download is incredibly slow and always hangs then fails.
I've tried running the update over 20 times with multiple OS installs (Debian Wheezy and Ubuntu 12.04) but with no luck. I tried downloading SteamCMD on my own computer and the download completed successfully.
I have contacted support about this and they directed me to this forum.
Any suggestions?

Thank you.

What exactly are you trying into SteamCMD before this error occurs? Also try posting your content_log.txt file here. Post it to a site like pastebin.com and provide us with a link.

I followed this reddit post and it worked:

If anyone had problems with this:
Initial App state (0x402) update required
App state (0x10502) reconfiguring, progress: 0.00 (0 / 0)
Error! App '211820' state is 0x10502 after update job.
I was able to solve it by forcing steamcmd to a single cpu:
taskset -c 0 ./steamcmd.sh
and setting the following prior to running app_update:
@cDepotBuilderFileChunkingThreads = 1
I had to run app_update 211820 validate several times after that but it finally finished and installed.

Also, make sure to set your force_install_dir to something like ../starbound before hitting app_update
