Description David Findlay 2006-04-17 13:46:13 UTC 
Version:           v0.8.5 (using KDE 3.5.2, Debian Package 4:3.5.2-2+b1 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.14.5

I'd like a feature that would allow you to schedule certain downloads to take place at a particular time, either once off or on a regular basis. Also it should be able to pause the download at a similarly scheduled time. This would be of great benefit to us who have internet connections with bandwidth limits and off peak quotas we can use. Thanks,

David

I too was looking for this feature. For us, free bandwidth quota starts at 2:00 AM and ends at 8:00 AM everyday. Sometimes,we get additional quotas on weekends and national holidays. It would be very helpful if it is possible to auto schedule/pause downloads at scheduled intervals. GetRight partly has this feature (at least the download can be scheduled.).
