it looks like they caved and approved a steam preload. soon after the steam preload went up the stress off the servers started to alleviate and things started working again and now pc users can download the preload for the client of their choosing and be happy.
i was just going to say to hell with it and download the standalone just because they gave absolutely no indication or communication at all suggesting that there would even be a steam preload tonight. but for the last hour and a half i couldn't even do that because the servers got so swamped.

The standalone installer is failing before it even hits 1%, The servers are still on fire. Steam installs fine however.

Steam:
If you have fast internet above 1 gigabit do not pre load. It will take you longer to unpack than to download when the full client is released.

Naah, rather just download it now and deal with unpacking. Never know what's going to happen tomorrow.
