Is it me or is the countdown clock wrong?

would have been nice for Alpha squad or sub members to pre load. its going to be a slow download with the mass of people waiting

Considering they're still working on it until release it is impossible to preload.

As for the overloaded downloads apparently they're using CDNs all over the place so it shouldn't be a problem.

Ever notice how even during peak beta download times you still got your average top download speed?

But I'm fine with that, I would have been surprised if it was otherwise.

Yeah, IMHO launch is too soon but we will see. 3 hours and some change until download, give about a couple of days to a week for the metacritic score, and we will see if SOE in their infinite wisdom picked the best time for launch.
