why do they make you wait 10s before beginning a download?

instead of starting it immediately?
they usually include an option to click here to start downloading immediately too, so i don't get why one wouldn't choose to do so.

I always wondered this too, think it's more or less to inconvenient people. Seems lot of sites purposely want to make your experience worse, as an incentive to pay to get a better experience. Maybe some also do it to increase the chance to see the ads. I noticed lot of video sites now have commercials too.
 
it's mostly to make you A) register or B) make you purchase a subscription to the site if you want faster downloads.
