I know what you mean Grin. 
I had purposely set my queue to upload/download during the supposed low usage times. But I think now, since alot of other people are doing the same, it's not making any difference.
I made a comment on Ars (there are a few threads there discussing bandwidth, etc) about Team queues and whether the big corporate sites, like Compaq, Sun, and SGI are queueing. I know that all the big tech-sites are, but it seems the more we try, and others like the corporates don't, then the corporates in effect "steal" the bandwidth that we've given back.
I recommended that a plea go out to alt.sci.seti and/or SETI's own forum to get the attention of those corporate sites since they may not have formalized forums, etc., to get the word out to their team members. I'm thinking they're more of a loose federation of employees who crunch under that corporate name - but regardless, they DO have ALOT of firepower to be where they are in rank and they ARE making an impact on bandwidth just like the rest of the top 20 teams. Another biggy (just in sheer number of members - although obviously, not all are active) is Team ArtBell and I wonder if they queue. Need to check that out.
Anyway... we'll see. I set my queue to prioritize for uploading so I could at least try to get some results up. Looks I managed to get some uploaded finally, but still alot to go..
