I can understand how it would sense network usage on the customer side but how in the heck is the protocol able to sense what the rest of my network is doing? Even with that, I don't see how it will stop sucking capacity when it is still transferring the same amount of data no matter what time of day it is. And good luck having users set download times. Just because they can doesn't mean they will. In my experience, they want that download NOW! If not they wouldn't be complaining about slow speeds............
