Ours run daily from around 1 or 2am to noon local-time. This is user configurable on their side. The appliances can update at 1.3Gbps without service interruption and routinely do. They said that this is also configurable. Note that they usually deploy these in pairs so BOTH servers can (and will) download at ~1.3Gbps EACH. Just last night I saw our 10G coming from the exchange go from 400Mbps to just under 3Gbps for Netflix content updates around 3am.
