My primary point was that there are people with connections that can't download it in the patch downtime, assuming the patch downtime is about 7-8 hours. These connections exist, and judging the people who use them over a minor semantic point is childish.
Additionally, there are places in the world that only have access to atrociously bad connections if you're on a budget.
If you don't want to download it, then simply don't download it now. It's not hard. There's no argument here.
