Am I the only one that would like to be able to setup a time range when it's allowed to use my bandwidth?

I'm traveling in hotels with shitty wifi most of the time. It's hard enough to browse so I'd really only like to backup while I'm sleeping. Also, in the interest of not hogging all the bandwidth I'd like it to stop by say 6am so that as guests are waking up they can use the bad internet.

You can. After you setup a target open the Preferences window. Select the target therein and click the "Edit..." button.

The dialog that follows has an option to "Pause between [00:00] and [00:00]", where [00:00] is a drop-down which lets you pick the top of any hour of the day.
