Fair point Peach, but you and I both know that some will always be downloading more than others but that is not the main issue. Yes some of that will be either illegal or without practical use but much of it wont, especially to those actually doing it.

Congestion is caused when all users compete for the same bandwidth at the same time. This is where the first point actually becomes a positive in the equation as it allows for the possibility of that part of the load being moved to a different time slot.

The current AUP has the effect of concentrating all traffic in to the prime time segment thus increasing not decreasing traffic at that time.
