Well I think I will be able to play just tomorrow, I don't see how thousands of players will be able to download the demo in the same time

Not too worried about that - as I was browsing Steam yesterday the status page showed 2.3 MILLION users logged on. Methinks they have quite a bit of server capacity.

Yeah, but its always terrible when a big name title is getting downloaded at release. Especially when there is no pre-loading.

E:TW release was a nightmare.

Yes, I do remember that being the case and I will NEVER purchase an on-line version again. SOOO much easier to buy the discs, load 'em up and activate on Steam.

Well, we will see how big the rush is in 2 hours.

Not to mention that you can always download them from Steam if you don't want to use the discs so buying discs has to sources of the game;)
