This will not go faster, but it will retry until success! while ! ./steam -command update -game tf -dir .; do echo retry;done
However, the above depends on ./steam returning non zero on every type of failure. It does return 1 on the "normal" "Connection Reset" error. Also, for me, the connection reset occurs when the install gets to another section.
