Description
I've started steam by running proxychains steam, yet the content downloading system in steam isn't getting threaded through my proxy server. I've found the process via nethogs that is downloading stuff, but I'm not sure how to interrupt that connection via proxychains. Is that something I can do, and how might I do it?

Research direction
No repository file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing the Steam download behavior with proxychains and determine which process or connection bypasses the proxy; done would require a clearly defined, reproducible change and a test showing that Steam content downloads follow the proxy.
