What is a download allowance limit? If you have one of those active accounts which gives you only a few minutes, I recommend you download after 9:30 pm your time as gamers quit crowding servers after that in any area making it the best time to download and upload stuff. It is the crowding in our area's that is using up the backbone during peak gaming time after dinner that causes downloading sluggishness. At least it worked for me when I was still a 56 KB Modem person.

I am halfway across the world.. so when it is night for me, it is day for you folks, and that means my off-peak hours are your peak-hours and vice versa.

 

These days there is no such thing as off-peak hours, except to suit the ISP's limitations.

That is why some people switch to a bit torrent service. When one server slows the download you are quickly switched to another. Sometimes that means a members computer in their home. Used to be kind of scary to some people as they fear getting the other member computer may be infected one time or another, hacked, or knocked out. Now-a-days? I am not sure if the bit torrent creator's have remedied that, it is an option for some.
