Could you describe your setup to better locate the issue. Do you use wifi or wired networking? NetworkManager or otherwise, linux distribution etc

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/1723#issuecomment-13572307.I use WiFi, on a 64-bit Ubuntu Desktop, with a ASUS motherboard, and a
AMD Graphics card, already updated it.
I've got the same issue :(. I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 32-bit; using wireless. In the script output I see "http error 200" which is ridiculous, since 200 should mean everything's fine. Doesn't seem to be any good advice about this issue, except along the lines of "Keep trying and maybe eventually it'll work a bit and eventually after many tries be done downloading the required stuff." Here's my full script output:
Running Steam on ubuntu 12.04 32-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is enabled automatically

SteamUpdater: Error: Download failed: http error 200

At least one other source suggests that a 200 "error" can happen when file permissions aren't right (presumably causing the http transaction to succeed but leaving the client with no place to put the returned data?).
If it's useful I installed steam today using sudo dpkg -i on steam_latest.deb from http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/steam.deb
We had a data corruption issue which is now fixed. Please try again?
I had this issue, but realized my apt-get update/upgrade was WAY behind. Recommend bringing your packages to current levels as that fixed mine on Wheezy/64
I just started it again and it worked fine. Thanks for addressing this issue!
I downloaded the Client, and every time I run it, It says I need a internet connection to update it, even when I obviously have a internet connection!
