Sooo....

-I own fairly significant chunk of the PDFs you get in the humble deal.

-I know that there are currently serious issues with down loads.

Yet, I am still going to be taking paizo up on the deal.

Why?

Because even owning all but two of hardbacks, it is still an insanely good deal, and I know that despite the current demand and issues meeting it, I will get my PDFs. Patients, it is a skill people could do worse than to learn.

Finley ... let's try this one more time ...

I'm losing my patients ...

I'm getting too old for this sh....

(Do not say poster or cat!)

It is generally the case that the wrong course of action is easier in some way than doing the right thing (since otherwise nobody would bother and it wouldn't even be in the mix). You being a better person is a great outcome and sticking to your principles has done you favors in that regard.

To be clear, I do think these delays are a REALLY BAD THING (tm) - both a bad look for Paizo and a frustrating experience for new visitors to paizo. I just think it's worth stating that doing the right/legal thing is, in fact, an intrinsic reward (in my opinion, anyhow).

If Paizo was being the larger person, as well as the rest of the community for buying the product, this company could have turned off their DRM to insure this problem did not occur merely for the week.

The only thing I will say about this is that me trying to be the better person and actually purchase these PDFs has not done me any favors. If I had wanted to pirate them, I would not be, over an hour later, trying to download even one of the files.

This seems like the DRM surrounding the site is being bogged down rather than the actual site's download speed.
