Well, we upload the FILES file at the same moment. But you will probably be redirected to a mirror server in your region. It takes time until all files are synchronized on the mirror server. We have no control over this. In fact, each download is loaded from a different random mirror server.

Also note that compiling (especially with larger changes) and uploading the entire bundle can take quite a while until the FILES file is uploaded. Your script will have to live with that.
