I hit the site a couple times before and after my initial tries to download from here, and never had any sort of captcha/cloudflareprompts pop up, so it's just odd to me that it would need the warm up.
I'll remote in to my home computer and try it too,

CloudFlare tends to use a 302 temporary redirect to their verification page, which works by utilizing the lack of security in modern browsers to do things like monitor mouse movement. My computer is slow enough that I can see the page before it redirects back to the original URL, but it typically doesn't stop and wait for me to actually do anything.
It also messes with the reload button, as it now has stuff from the verification page that I get prompted to resend. I would guess that is what the warm up clears out.
I'll probably test it tonight when I do my regular updates.
