Others have already quoted the important part of the original message. Here it is again just for clarity:
"Please note that there is no intention of replacing the primary download system (BITS) at this time, this would be offered as well as / in place of the bittorrent option."
What this line means is that you will have two options if you wish to download the full installer from our website (Patches will not be changed at all). You can either (a) click the link and download the file directly from our servers just like you always have, or you can (b) choose to use the new downloader that installs a daemon. Totally up to you.

Originally by: Kale Kold In the next patch CCP are planning to install a daemon (service) program on YOUR computer to download patches via a P2P network. They are going to make this mandatory and without your permission!!!
Kale Kold, the claims you make in your post are incorrect.
In fact what we intend to do is the exact opposite. We are not making any changes to how we deliver patches. We are only offering another, optional, method of downloading a full install. This full install option will be offered along with / in place of the optional BitTorrent download option.
Normal HTTP downloads (using the BITS service in Windows) will be the primary method to download installs and patches.

Feel free to answer whether or not the pando software will be installed regardless of how you decide to download the patch....
I just did, you need to read my reply: "We are not making any changes to how we deliver patches. We are only offering another, optional, method of downloading a full install."

Originally by: Kale Kold Thank you very much for your reply but can you please confirm that Pando will NOT be installed if we don't want it installing? Will you give us the OPTION of installing Pando?
Pando is completely optional.

Originally by: Decimus Sellic I dont beleive you did answer the question. My question is, is Pando automatically installed or do we have the choice to install it???
I have already answered the question. This was very clear from CCP Mephysto's original post, as well as from repeated replies from CCP Hypnotic and myself in this thread.
But let me answer it yet again: We are testing an optional method for downloading the full install. You can still use the the primary method to download the install, which is regular HTTP download (using the BITS service in Windows). We are not making any changes to patch downloads.

Locked.
Please note that we will not be installing any service on your PC.
This is an additional option on how to download a full installation of EVE.
