Default Re: Automate your downloads

Rather than this, if you do not wish to mess with all these batch files and all,if you do not mind keeping you computer on through the night, you can easily use the scheduling functionality of Flashget to download only during the Free Downloading time period.

In flashget, go to Options, in the Schedule tab, select the days you want the schedule download to take place, select the start and stop downloading time.

In the Dial Up Networking tab, select the Dial Up connection you would like to Dial, enter the username and password. Also select hang up when done option.

When adding downloads, assign it to Schedule.

Simply keep your computer on before going to sleep. Flashget will automatically dial up, start downloading, hang up if downloading finish. or if downloads do not finish within the time frame, having the stop downloading in schedule will make sure it does not download after that time.

Also, in the tools menu, select shutdown when done. So, when you download is finished, the computer will be shut down.
