When updating my zap2it subscription, one of the question was this:
4. Most Zap2it Labs users have scheduled their download to occur in the middle of the night/early morning (12:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m., Central time). This creates a concurrency problem.
We would appreciate it if you would schedule your downloads for late morning, afternoon, or evening, as this will (a) reduce load on our servers, and (b) give you improved performance.
o This isn't a question! Why am I selecting a choice?
o Because we just want to emphasize the point that rescheduling your downloads for 9 a.m. to midnight (Central) will improve everyone's lives.
o Okay, sounds good!
Would it make sense to make the GPVR deault to a time outside of this congestion? Those who still prefer their download at a certain time can still change it. Those who don't care or are unaware of the default time probably won't care about the change either.
Just a thought.
