What's another 20 minutes at this point. I don't blame the people for finding the leak one bit with the amount of time they've delayed it today already.
Agreed, like we are supposed to get upset at people for adding 20 minutes when they've been stringing us along all night...
Because by downloading the files prematurely, we had to stop the upload to change the directory urls to stop people from downloadming premature, thus resulting in restarting the uploads.
so lol.
so lol.

lol wrecked
Why did you have to stop people from downloading it prematurely? Does this cause any kind of actual issue?

To the new directory urls! swarm!!!
because when you download from one server, that server gets overloaded and shuts down temporarily, thus the fact that we have to upload to seven to contain the traffic.

Ninja'd.
Bio hit the nail on the head. When people swarm one mirror, the server will either get overstressed and get put offline temporarily, OR the file gets removed permanently and needs to be uploaded.
You guys remember what happened when we released the previous demos on Smods right?
Smod crashed because it was overstressed and Smods is stored on a shared server meaning it was using too many resources.
Losing mirrors is a far larger setback than what you're giving credit for lol. Because when servers go down in the middle of the night, it'll take a long time before they get back online. Meaning more traffic for other servers, and a larger chance for potential issues.
It places the opportunity for a downward spiral on the pathway of plausibility.
This is why we need like 7 mirrors ready to go from the start so none of that crap is possible.

Not to come off as a douche, but do you really need a goddamn reason? If people are attempting to evade early traffic by slithering around with DL links, then they're kind of spitting in the PMBR's face. Seriously, either stfu and wait or deal with the imminent site traffic; a few hours won't make much of a difference.
I'm just going to guess that one of the main reasons behind why premature downloads are a hindrance is the main DL page not being set up to track the download count -- one of the few indicators of this non-paid project's success. Plus, what Bio said.
