Why Steamcmd doesn't download Counter-Strike HLDS Server?

Hello, i want to make a Counter-Strike 1.6 server.
The problem is when i try to download the HLDS client through the Steamcmd client it doesn't download it properly, it downloads only 70 mb of 700-800 mb aprox. total size, when i try to force validate and redownload HLDS it doesn't download more than 70 mb
Why? Can you give me a answer? Thanks in advance!

SteamCMD has been screwedup for over half a year. It's messing up has to do with using or getting bad manifest files. This ahs ben reported to valve on their GITHUB webpage.

Good luck making it work correctly. From STEAM VALIDATION REJECTED to random errors you'll not be able to make it work. Also, the steamcmd version was working 4 days ago, until it simply stop working! You can create your own server and it will not listen on the selected port.
