Actually, *almost* everyone does. Of the ten million or so folks that  
are online, I would venture that less than 1% have the unusual time/ 
bandwith restriction that you do. Its hardly fair to fault Apple for  
failing to build in such an unusual feature that so few people would  
need.

However, I'm thinking that perhaps Automator.app could be used to  
initiate the download process at a specific time. I don't use it  
myself, simply because I've never encountered a problem or need that  
seemed to require Automator. But I have seen occasional "Tips &  
Tricks" articles and demos of the application. Since you *do* have a  
need, you might take it upon yourself to explore and educate yourself  
on this free, built-in capability bundled with Tiger and Leopard. Look  
in Wiki, Google some tutorials or explanations root around for the  
info, and let us know what you discover.

Good Luck
