Posted September 16, 200519 yr I have satellite internet (yes, I do live in the middle of nowhere), and between the hours of 1 and 4 AM my maximum allowed bandwidth consumption goes up from 169MB/45 minutes to 225MB/45 minutes. I've been toying with scheduled downloads so I can still download videos and such, but I have to leave my rig on when I go to bed. My father is very... conservative, and whenever he sees it idling he'll just turn it off and bother me about it. Does anyone know how to schedule the system to start up and log on to a user at a scheduled time? I've been using Window's 'Scheduled Tasks' to open Firefox and start the download, and a batch file to shut it down, but I have to leave the rig running for them to work.
