(as an aside) Some of this timed & controlled distribution (by the content
originator) should be possible using IETF Content Delivery Network
Interconnection (CDNI) standards - see
https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/cdni/documents/. The initial RFC 6707 provides
some background - https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6707.
But I think folks are correct that the issue may be more that a given gaming
device was turned off at night (though no reason that device could not
pre-cache the content from the source). In any case, there should be a better
way to address this. The Internet will see more and more of these downloads and
smoothing the impact out seems prudent for all involved.
