I have been running a Linux Ark server at my house no for about six months with no problem. Well the update right before Christmas I noticed there was a problem as only one guy could log on. We figured out he could still log on because somehow he was still running the last version of Ark as was the server, but, the rest of us updated. Thinking it was odd he logged off and updated and I attempted to manually update my ark server through steamCMD instead of leaving it to the cronjobs I set up.

All of that to say now I have a server that is a couple versions behind and whenever I try to update it, it gets stuck in a loop forever trying to get the files, but, never actually downloading anything. I also have the same thing happen if I try to update any of the mods for the game or the steamCMD client itself. I also never get thrown any errors. It just sits there....downloading.... I currently have ALL the ports on the iptables open(I think) just in case that is the issue somehow and I have tried temporarily moving the server outside my router's firewall. I am pretty green with linux and steamCMD so I am not even 100% sure what else to check. Any help would be appreciated as I am pulling my hair out on this one. As a starting point I have included the contents of the appinfo_log.txt. Thank you to anyone who can lend a hand.
