It's intended mechanic, you can cheat it by prestige right before 2nd or any byte amount, first 100%= you get 1 byte, without performing prestige go for next run and prestige at 90-99% area, then you will have 1 usable byte and will be able to earn another one pretty soon by reaching last % to prestige.
I wanted to make prestige system like that to try support all kinds of variations of gameplays. You could get multiple bytes per single run next prestige requirement is higher than if you had performed prestige at first it might not seem so,be noticeable at first but when have more than 16 bytes things start to take effects. These values are not final and is what I am working on.
This is how I tried to balance this kind of prestige system adding proportional negative to positive of earning multiple bytes in single run.
There are couple of mechanics I haven't explained yet, will try to do so in following days/next update, some things are just intented for player to find.
It took some time to figure out, but it was pretty straight forward. You get money everytime someone fully downloads a file from you. So at the start you want a small file size with your terrible internet speed. As your speed gets better you can seed larger file sizes and get more money per seed. That's the basics of it.

because of how the prestige system works, you have to play 2 basic games before getting a single bonus, and its slow :(

I see potential here for a good short game :D
I hope you will build on it :D
some proper instructions would be nice

They will be added to next version, thank you for reminding.
