As people in the comments point out, waiting six days is nothing - weeks or months is more usual. And I think the whole "will you be downloading" question is a red herring, just something to get the comments going (and it seems to have worked).

I won't be downloading, but I'm a bit sad I'll have to stay out of Boxed Set for six days, unless you all take pity on us Brits and whitefont.

You won't have to stay out of Boxed Set. You'll have to stay out of Premium Cable.
