In the "Installing a Dedicated Server" instructions, it mentions to install the "orangebox" engine, and to use the old "steam" command (from HLDSUpdateTool) to accomplish that. Like this:
./steam -command update -game orangebox -dir /some-path
However, apparently the old HLDSUpdateTool no longer serves content for "orangebox" installs?
When I try that, I just get a repeating loop, like this:

Since the content (apparently) no longer comes-down via HLDSUpdateTool, I assume it must be downloaded via SteamCMD / SteamPipe now?
Typically, I would expect a SteamCMD install do be invoked like this:
./steamcmd.sh +login anonymous +force_install_dir /some-path +app_update app-id-number-here
However, what is the correct AppID to perform the equivalent install under SteamCMD / SteamPipe?
I have tried the following AppID's so far, without success:
217 = Multiplayer OB Binaries
218 = Source SDK Base 2007 (Orange Box)
311 = implied by attempt to install "orangebox" via HLDSUpdateTool
312 = all_source_engine_paths|hl2
244310 = Source SDK Base 2013 MP dedicated server
205 = Source SDK Base 2006 MP dedicated server <-- downloading right now, but don't expect it to work.

It should work with 218.
Now I never used the new system for installing servers so I can't really help you on that one.
I tried appID 218 using the new system, but it only pulled-down client-side Windows-based files. No Linux binaries, and no SRCDS (for Windows or Linux).
From what I can gather, they stopped hosting the content for Source 2007 Dedicated Server on the old "HLDSUpdateTool" back-end content servers. However, they have not yet made it available yet on the new "SteamCmd" tool's back-end contend servers (i.e. the "SteamPipe" system). Looks like 2006 is ported over and 2013 - but for whatever reason not 2007!
I don't suppose you guys are going to be compiling for Source 2013 any time soon?
Or maybe since you've got some developer resources at Valve you can query?
