Well, I don't have to - but I do, because I get no feedback, when my download is ready - so, when I am too fast, it get's reiniciated, when I am too slow, it has been dropped by the server and gets reiniciated
Sorry, but this is inacceptable for paying customers - download by accident! Paizo makes a lot of money now by getting new customers, I think, they should invest it in better download stability. Keeping the website alive is not enough!!!
It is quite frustrating that we have to guess when the personalisation is complete but it's probably not ideal for Paizo either: They've stated in the update thread (http://paizo.com/threads/rzs2thdr) that each click creates a new request, rather than resetting (or reinitiating) the previous one. Even if you've been logged out, that request is still active.
I may be wrong but once your first request is complete and the file is available, you'll be able to download it, even if you have 4 more requests pending. You haven't started from scratch.
The personalised files do seem to stay available for a decent time. I gave up on a couple last Friday but got the download links straight away today.
Paizo have made efforts to improve the infrastructure but it's not reasonable to expect them to shell out for gear that will be redundant when this surge of users has died down. They're a business who have kindly offered a vast quantity of their products available to you for next to nothing. Why don't you try and think of yourself as a charity donor, rather than a "paying customer"; feel good about donating and feel even better when you get to enjoy the Pathfinder stuff.
Tl;dr. Thanks Paizo, we'll wait.
