Has it always been that way?  I seem to remember when the 2am thing 
first came up, it was fixed, but many folks had old versions.

The user agent strings at 2am UTC are:

    | MythTV v0.27.20140323-1 MythDownloadManager |
    | MythTV v0.27.20150622-1 MythDownloadManager |
    | MythTV v0.27.20151025-1 MythDownloadManager |
    | MythTV v0.27.20131107-1 MythDownloadManager |
    | MythTV v0.27.20140520-1 MythDownloadManager |
    | MythTV v0.27.20140719-1 MythDownloadManager |
    | MythTV v0.27.20141016-1 MythDownloadManager |

Some are fairly recent (I assume compile) dates.

I'll look into contacting a few users to see what I can figure out.
