Configuring Up2Date to download overnight

Hi,

Is there any way to restrict the Up2date downloads to a certain time range? I've found the option to control how frequently it looks for updates, but I'd like to restrict it to overnight when there's less demand on the Internet connection.

Using ASG 8.300, home license.

Thanks,
Giles.

    Updates are fairly rare, so I'm not sure you gain much.

    Pattern updates occur frequently, and, if you're using anti-virus or Intrusion Prevention, you probably want to get those as soon as possible after they're issued.  These tend to be small packages, so there should be no noticiable effect on available bandwidth.

    Cheers - Bob
