They start with a few smaller, and possibly Canadian based affiliates, and gradually expand the distribution over a few weeks. Over the years, people have found which affiliate gets the firmware first, and geek1011 site uses these. If you edit the file above and change the affiliate to one of these, the device should update if there is firmware available.

I just added a new table to to
my fw downloader to make this kind of thing easier. It shows which affiliates have the latest versions for each device. I've attached a screenshot of this table and another useful table I added.
