## Frequently Asked Questions

### Why doesn't my password containing special characters work? Do I have to specify the password on the command line?
If you pass the `-password` parameter with a password that contains special characters, you will need to escape the command appropriately for the shell you are using. You do not have to include the `-password` parameter on the command line as long as you include a `-username`. You will be prompted to enter your password interactively.
### I am getting error 401 or no manifest code returned for old manifest ids
Try logging in with a Steam account, this may happen when using anonymous account.
Steam allows developers to block downloading old manifests, in which case no manifest code is returned even when parameters appear correct.
### Why am I getting slow download speeds and frequent connection timeouts?
When downloading old builds, cache server may not have the chunks readily available which makes downloading slower.
Try increasing `-max-downloads` to saturate the network more.
