A few more observations: I kept detailed stats on the download patterns for my paid spy camera app. The rate of downloads is constant between 8am and 2am. I did not see any 'rush hour' effect. It's also constant but slower at night, between 2am and 8am. Given that sales come from all over the world, that would tend to flatten any bumps in the graph. I'm not sure what time zone Google is using for these stats.
More interestingly, weekends see up to two times the traffic, so I release my updates Saturday morning so they can have the most possible traffic through the 'just in' list.
