Hmm, that's quite a silly strategy! Why would they make everybody
download
the demo from one server on one specific date? To make sure everyone
gets
around 1.5 kB/s...?

Ditto.  What's the concept behind giving someone an exclusive on a demo
download?  Why wouldn't their own TWO sites (EA's and ISI's) carry it???  And
frankly, the concept of one site working an "exclusive" deal doesn't enamour
me to that particular site.

Sorry, I'm not impressed.  I'll wait until Wednesday so my cable modem can
cruise at 100K/sec not 1.5K/sec on your over worked server.  Bad idea.

In a later post I learned that they have the exclusive download for
24h, then it should be available in more places. I implied, it would
be only available for 24h... still, even that way it sucks and will be
quite slow!

It depends... I mean even if the software is hyped by us r.a.s.ers, the mass
market of gamers probably don't really know about the title, or don't care.
I expect an easy to download demo.

Cmon, this ain't the Star Wars Trailer A and B with l 20million+
downloads!!!!!  (get it at trailer.starwars.com btw heh).
