Content Servers Unreachable

[ASug]

I hate to re-tread old ground, but as a new Steam user, I have this issue (An error occurred while installing Football Manager 2013 (Content servers unreachable)) with downloading my first purchased game (bought a couple of days ago). I've tried all the bits in the network connectivity troubleshoot, the 3rd party port-test thing says my ports are fine for Steam, I've tried changing download region and un/re-installing, all without any success... any other ideas that might work?

Does anything in this post apply to your situation ?

The Vipre and Vodafone possibilities are a bit older now, and I thougth they maybe had been addressed. Or, the Vipre conflict was but not the Vodafone conflict ?

At any rate, check that post, please. It was further back in the thread.

I fixed it. turns out the new wifi router set forced the lan to use a proxy, so I turned that off, and everything is fine.

That is good to know. Thanks for the update to the thread. Just so you know in the future, never troubleshoot Steam connectivity issues using a wireless connection and/or router. Run ethernet directly to the modem first.

This is using process of elimination to find the cause and correct it. Routers are very often the cause.

See this, please.

2. Test Your Router

The Using a Router with Steam topic includes steps to isolate problems if they occur at the router.

Wireless and powerline connections can cause intermittent failures due to interference. If possible, test Steam with a direct wired connection to determine if this is a problem. An Internet speed test may also help you identify problems related to local link quality.

Try many more regions first. If one region is having issues, then it stands to be understandable how another or others may have issues, too. Don't just try one or two and give up. And try some very far away from you also.

Change Download Region

The Steam content system is divided into geographical regions. The Steam client automatically detects its current region and uses content servers located in that region for best performance. Sometimes, servers in a specific region may be slow, overloaded or have a hardware failure causing download issues. It is advisable to temporarily switch to a different download region to use another set of content servers.

Steam -> Settings -> Downloads -> Download Region. You may need to test several regions other than your own.

There is no phone number for support, as you have to use the self-help menu and navigate it properly to get to the point of making a support ticket.

But support surely cannot do anything about this error on your end.

Do you have Vipre Antivirus or Vodafone for your internet service there ? Pretty sure I have posted that already in this thread, unless you missed it.

EDIT..Have you looked at this entire thread you posted in, and tried what has been covered here ? It's quite extensive.
