BSNL 2-8 utorrent download automated(no need to wake up, no paid software needed)

[apoorva84]

Well, there are already several threads in this section of the forum regarding scheduling downloads from 2-8(BSNL happy hours)

But i thought i'll add mine too with screenshots...here goes

First of all you will need three basic things...(1)reconnect.exe and (2)utorrent and (3)shutdown.exe...all three are freeware...extract reconnect.exe and shutdown.exe to your desktop or any folder you want and install utorrent.

start your torrents in utorrent and pause them


also i assume your BSNL broadband connection is in bridged mode, if not change it like this(basically you will be dialing your bsnl broadband connection everytime you want to connect)-------



next step is to open control panel and go to scheduled tasks..



click "add scheduled tasks" and next and it might take some time for the applications to load..then click on browse like this------





then browse to the desktop/folder where you have extracted reconnect and click on it-----



next click on daily and give the time as 2.10AM------





in the next step you be asked to enter username and password.enter the password or if you dont use a password to log on to windows, just click next...tick "open advanced properties for this task when i click finish" and click on finish...you might get an error like how i have shown, but ignore it-----







then in advanced properties for reconnect, under the task tab, tick "run only if logged on"....and under schedule tab, you can get the task to repeat under advanced scheduling.





this is the important step if you dont want to keep your computer running the whole night...under settings tab, tick "wake up computer to run this task" and click ok.



follow the same steps and schedule utorrent also. you can schedule utorrent to start downloading automatically at 2.15AM...

for shutting down your pc, follow the same steps again for shutdown.exe..you can shut down your pc at 7.50 AM like this-----



make sure you have the "connect at start" option ticked in reconnect.exe as i have shown the picture-----



last but not least, the most important step...HIBERNATE YOUR PC, DONT SHUT DOWN before you go to sleep-----AND KEEP YOUR MODEM SWITCHED ON(AND IF YOU USE A UPS, KEEP THAT SWITCHED ON TOO)

well, this procedure works for me very well...i have tried this for almost a week and have had no problems at all...you dont need any paid/shareware software and its pretty simple and straightforward....

thanks to the other guys who have posted similar tutorials and the valuable suggestions i got from those tutorials, esp yrana2002 who has posted a similar tutorial here

P.S----this doesnt work for rapidshare..for rapidshare you can use one of the various download programs available like cryptload, Elephant,etc if you dont have a premium account(not sure if they work, just google them to download the applications and try them if you want)....or if you have premium rapidshare account, you can use Rapidshare manager or there's a good tutorial already posted on the website of Rapidshare's verified reseller in India

I have used this method for one year using a laptop. Sometimes the laptop fails to wake up so I ask my mother to "press that button everynight before sleeping". I stay in a hostel and can't go home and hence I need complete automation. I dont download much anyways.

how is that possible?have you ticked the option "wake up computer to start task"? cause if you havent, computer wont start automatically...also, hope you have an ATX cabinet(just asking in case you have a really old pc)..i also advice you to update the BIOS if you havent and install the latest service packs if you havent

[mrintech]

This is the trick I m looking for, for a long period of time.

Thanx Mate

I was also facing same problem. Sometimes notebook wakes up sometimes it doesn't. Its core2duo on 945gm chipset. Which LAN card and chipset you have?

well mate, see to it that you have the hibernate option ticked in power options like i have shown here:

[pirates1323]

torrent sucks .. use rapidshare .. get urself a premium account .. and download using flashget .. flashget too has the option to shutdown ur system automatically ..

no need for such long steps ////

[apoorva84]

^^^thanks, but not everyone wants to shell out money for a rapidshare premium account..its alright if they 10000 points to exchange for a month long premium account, but i dont have that many points and i get good speeds on torrents...

besides, i have also mentioned about rapidshare at the end of my post...

also, flashget isn't the best(some say it has spyware)....i recommend orbit downloader....

[Plasma_Snake]

Google the Software, you'll probably find dozens of other site or hostings providing the same software.

If u can let ur pc turn on for whole night then u dont need to use anything.
just install torrent & set its scheduler
IN Micro Torrent
options-->preferences-->scheduler
1st white all the boxes by double click
now made each box from 2-8 dark green by single click

finish.....:smi le:

[Gursimran]

This is very complicated........simply use Telnet....

[fubuaks]

BTW how much can we actually download using utorrent on a 2 mbps broadband connection

[abhi_10_20]

^depends on the number of seeds and peers you are connected to, in case of p2p

[R2K]

^^

i am talking about minimum or average amount of data that can be downloaded in that specified time frame ( 2am-8pm or 6 hours)
