It saves a lot of time. Having a new update/game or sharing large files in minutes instead of hours matters. Why not just start download earlier? Foresight on a long timescale takes a lot of brainpower and is pretty stressful because cost of miss is high. I will start this download and go get water is a whole lot better than I will queue this update and and it will be done in the morning.
