14 DAY TRIAL // The SteamOS repositories and some of the other resources provided by Valve seem to have some connectivity problems and users can't perform updates.
The issues with the SteamOS repositories seem to be intermittent and there are already a number of users on the official forums complaining about this issue. So far, not many users have noticed it, but if it persists, the number of affected people might rise.
"I'm having some issues with downloading the SteamOS Beta. I'm going to repo.steampowered.com and it lists the SteamOS files (the MD5, .zip, .iso etc.) but after starting it the connection is 'interrupted' after downloading about 6MB or so. Does anyone know if its just me or if the 'repo' site is just having some issues at the moment?," reads just one of the comments on the Steam forums.
It seems that the problems with the SteamOS repos don't allow users to download the packages, but this might now be a very important issue. It's very likely just a server update or some other minor maintenance that's going on.
Valve is developing SteamOS for quite a while now, and it's an operating system based on Debian that will power the upcoming console from the company.
