How to download software from steam without steam client?

[EnVy_28]

Hi,

 

Can anybody help me? Is there a way to download a software that is only available on steam, without having to download and install steam client?

The reason is that, our organization blocks steam so I cannot connect online. I manage to install OpenVPN but somehow I cannot login, it throws an "Cannot login" error.

I also tried to search online whether its available somewhere but it seems it's only available on steam.

 

It's not just a regular software, I really need it and I feel like it's required in my life.

 

The software is Wallpaper Engine BTW...

only if the program is offered on another platform or standalone

Maybe if you can use some other means to connect to the internet? Can you access to steam? If you still cannot, then it is the system you are using that denial you from connecting to steam.

If you can connect to steam using other internet connection, you should be able to use the software after you downloaded it from steam.

I don't think Wallpaper Engine is available on another platform. Also there's no download link anywhere that I found online. Come to think of it, the only way you can download wallpapers in Wallpaper Engine is through Steam Workshop. So I assume it's only available through steam?

Actually, I can connect to steam if I connect my iPhone to my PC and use internet tethering. It's just that it very troublesome to do... Specially if I'm in the middle of the work and suddenly I want "Miku-chan" wallpaper in my second monitor.

My question for you is, should you really be installing software on a work computer without permission from your manager or IT department?

I mean, there's really nothing in our contract that prevents me from installing third-party software, as long as it's not malicious....

Your work's network likely blocks access to steam and to VPN sites (as both are vulnerabilities). 

 

Your only option is to use a different internet connection. (Your phone.)

And that would lead back to my question that I asked before.

should not be a problem, I've used steam over OpenVPN and some other forms of VPN as well and they never fails.
