A lot of people don't understand that it costs money to host servers and make software available for download. It's important to understand that this service costs money.
You're freeloading. Stop whining about waiting for a few seconds for a free service that doesn't sell your private data to the highest bidder. For fucks sake.

That doesn't legitimize a countdown à la adfly.

You’re arguing that it’s not legitimate for someone who is doing work and running servers for free to prompt you to donate?

I'm arguing it's not legitimate to make the user endure a freaking countdown.
The banner is fine. The additional click is fine. All nonprofits do it. But the countdown ? Hell no.

OK, pay them for better bandwidth then.

You’re using services they provide for free. They can do whatever the fuck they want.

Well, if you want you can just host your own store via VPS. Its not that expensive really.

I do have a server actually. How big is this store ? If they tell me they'll remove the countdown if I mirror it, I will.
