From FAQ:
"When will I be able to download the client?
A few days prior to the Early Access launch. We’ll announce the details in the news, so you won’t miss it!"

I second this.  100GB will likely take me over a day on my slow rural connection.

I just hope their servers can handle all the downloads with decent speed, my 1000mbit/s won't help much if their servers can't keep up.

Pre-downloading is a bad concept for the servers because it will result in a large number of simultaneous connections.
On the other hand, if users can only download the game once it launches, this will even out the amount of connections over time.
Some games intentionally limit download bandwidth to help servers. ;)

What's interesting is unless I am wrong, steam does not let you download ANY game that is Early Access.  So while GGG may let you download it on xbox or the individual client from the website, not sure they can control what steam does...unless they make an exception.

Isn't that the whole point of providing everyone with their own Steam client key?
