See my other post on this. It is extremely simple XML anybody would understand instantly. In fact, some people have already scripted changes to the XML files running on Mac to increase the "throttle" at night and decrease the "throttle" during the day. We'll be giving the Linux client some more thought over the next few days.

For anyone wondering, I just did this on OS X to adjust the throttle overnight:

  > crontab -l
  0  1 * * * sed -E -i .bak 's/net_throttle="[0-9]+"/net_throttle="100"/' /Library/Backblaze/bzdata/bzinfo.xml
  0 10 * * * sed -E -i .bak 's/net_throttle="[0-9]+"/net_throttle="40"/'  /Library/Backblaze/bzdata/bzinfo.xml
Thanks!
