I find that you end up over a barrel. When inside STM times speeds are good and I could download what I want when I want if STM weren't in place.
I tend to wait until STM has finished at 9pm, by which time everyone else has jumped on and speeds are down to near dialup.
So either way I find you can't win. I'm considering going down to the 2Mb package, using the savings to pay for leaving a machine on 24/7 and just ignoring STM times. Might be better in the end.
Free Download Manager has 3 profiles (Light, Medium & Heavy) which limits the number of simultaneous connections, but that's all, nothing like as good as you want
