Google Drive downloads have a limited number of downloads per day, after which it gets blocked for a day. In my experience, that's way, way worse as a delivery mechanism when you have a large number of people downloading it all at once. Some AVNs end up being not downloadable for weeks after release when they use Drive.
Is it really that bad to have to wait five hours for the download to continue? :-)
I mean yes, in a browser, it would be miserable, but use the mega downloader app or the megadl command-line tool, and it's no big deal.
