Ok Rich, nothing is impossible. I'm just trashing the idea of schleping
this off on the server when clearly it's vista that needs to meet my 2x4.

   Just because you don't see how doesn't mean that it doesn't or can't
happen.  As an ISP don't you see bandwidth throttled by usage even if you
don't support this yourself?

  Well in this case the user would like to prioritize, in fact the user
would
  like to prioritize it right off the list of things to do.. 

  I honestly don't see how a server could prioritize it since it's simple
file
  access which would all look the same from the server end.

     Idle time not idle network.  I don't know if network is prioritized.
  Regardless the server can prioritize if it wishes.

       Who defines the activity as "idle time"?   The system doing the
    activity?    What if you have other systems sharing the bandwidth who
need
    it?    Does the "idle time" activity set a QOS bit that can be used to
    prioritize traffic?
