012 traffic shapes that way from around 3pm until 3am. Full speed for  
about 1-2 megabytes (I don't really have been able to figure out the  
exact number) and then it goes down to about 10% of the line's  
capability. Multiple connections all get limited.

I wish I had a serial multiple connection downloader, i.e. it  
downloads a megabyte, closes the connection, waits 10 seconds and  
downloads another, until the full file is downloaded.

Meanwhile when the latest Ubuntu came out, I was able to download 4 CD  
ROM images at full speed at 9pm.

You can easily test it:

cat "wget url" | at 03:00
