I often rage a bit whenever there is a big patch/update - it is a painful process for me. Even doing it through uTorrent I was experiencing nearly the same effect. So what I end up doing is just waiting until the next morning hoping there are less people I have to compete/take turns with in obtaining the data.

Yes SE - please fix this - I find most of my aggravation, more often than not, comes from this. If it was meant to be innovative, this is innovatively horrid.
