    Steam for Linux failing to Download/Install Ubuntu 13.04 and 12.10

    Hi, I am a gamer that usually has to boot into windows to game, Since this new Steam for Linux, ive been trying to install it! I am not a noob (relatively) But i havent been able to find a solution anywhere. When i try to install it begins, attempts to download gets to about 250kb out of 2.5mb and then gives me this error : "Failed to Download package files. Check your internet connection" Although my connection is fine, So i try to download the .deb directly and it fails. And in terminal with
    Code:
     sudo dpkg -i steam-latest.deb
    . Any ideas? I thought a dodgy repo but when i
    Code:
    sudo apt-get update
    it completes with no errors.
    Thanks Ben

    HEY GUYS! I fixed it! All i had to do was install Curl and Jockey-Common which were dependencys. So i did
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install jockey-common
    Code:
    sudo apt-get install curl
    Code:
    sudo apt-get -f install
    then it all worked!
