Notefinger is right, my email came on 29th October specifically saying that they were emailing in batches so that the servers don't run into the kind of problems they had with other upgrades and masses of people logging in at once.  You know I feel kind of sorry for Daz just because they're customers seem to complain whatever happens...  everyone downloads on the same day and complains the downloads are slow, phased downloads and people complain it's not fair. 

Perhaps it is alphabetical, my surname begins with E.  Perhaps it's location, being in the UK I was able to get my downloads started before the rush as soon as I got up while many in the US would be asleep.
