It would be nice if things could drop overnight to hopefully spread things out during the daytime lull some.
Night-time for you is daytime for someone else. I agree that the folks pushing these massive data loads could be considerate of the networks they are running on. The steam preload thing is a great example. The content becomes available x weeks before launch and downloaded to your device at some point in that window. It then simply unlocked on launch day. I'm not sure how much incentive there is for people to implement this kind of system though. With the rise of CDN and global caching, people care less about the performance of their servers for content distribution as it just scales out. Dave
