After plugging away at this a bit more, it seems that your URL is being blocked on my end for some sort of security nonsense. However, the app doesn't seem to know the difference between an intercepted URL and a corrupted download.
When I was able to catch the URL (which wasn't easy, because it is not sent to stdout or stderr, but is only sometimes visible in a window brifely), I was able to download it using https.
http://media.steampowered.com/steamlink/rpi/steamlink-rpi3-1.1.52.121.tar.gz
However, it seems the server is self-signed, so I have to click past a security warning to do so.
And then I had to figure out how to install it so that I didn't wipe out my existing keys. I'm not sure I properly removed the older version. But I did get the newer client running.
Please put this on a properly certified https server, and update the downloads to https.
[And detect the difference between a warning web page and a corrupted tarball, with appropriate error messaging.]

I have the exact same issue. Any progress on this?
