After being downloaded they remain accessible if they are in your replays folder. Server-side replays are currently in a testing stage as we fix possible issues and ...

Once someone abandons the match everyone is free to leave without a penalty.

Leaving the match will start a 2 minute timer until that person is declared to have abandoned the match, to allow that person to rejoin if there was game crash/computer crash/internet issue (the option to rejoin or abandon the match appears for that player).

After 1 minute there is a warning and after 2 minutes/when a person has abandoned the match there is a message in the chat which says that it's safe to leave.
