825569 2009-10-30 05:30:00 Is there a Windows compatible program which you can install which can be pointed to a particular program to start and stop at certain times? I'm trying to use only my free data allowance with Xnet (2am-8am) and want my download client to only operate within this timeframe. My client does not have an inbuilt scheduler. supersi (8401)
825570 2009-10-30 05:46:00 Hi,

It may depend a little bit on what the 'download client' actually is.

For instance, if you're doing torrents, then uTorrent has a fine sceduling feature.

Which app are you using?

825573 2009-10-30 06:28:00 Can't Windows built in Task Scheduler be used to kick this app into action?

It might even have termination options, I can't recall coz I never use it, although at 8am I imagine you could probably kill the UseNet client yourself.

825574 2009-10-30 06:52:00 What download client do you use? Is this for torrenting, or ftp/http downloads? Blam (54)
