This means that either:

A) VALVe’s content servers are down - in which case just try again.
B) Your server can’t reach VALVe’s content servers due to some other connectivity or misconfiguration issue such as bad DNS.

B) wierd because everything else working (other instances) maybe i must open some ports?

Hi Viktoras_Paulavicius,

I’d suggest checking validating you’re allowing steamcmd to connect. Here’s a list of required Steam ports and domain names you should make sure are contactable.

Steam Support :: Required Ports for Steam

Hope you have had some luck.
