Hi all i have an internet connection with speed 4Mbps and my plan is offering free unlimited download from 2AM to 8AM but with a monthly limit of 2.5GB. Usually i download more than 50GB a month by not sleeping in the night. But nowdays i feel tired in the night and has to wake up early morning. But this week i have to download a lot especially the distros which may be as large as 4.5GB each. I wish if there was a solution if my laptop would automatically turn on at 2am and start downloading the stuffs which i have placed in the queue/scheduler of the download manager and stop downloading at 8am and turn off automatically. Any way to do so? Even partial solution?

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: shishir <shishirdbhat(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Sep 20, 2010 at 12:13 PM Subject: Re: [FSUG-Bangalore] Download To: devesh <dost4frnd(a)gmail.com> I do this using TCL-Expect Script which would reset my modem and start download at 2AM then reset again and shutdown comp at 8AM. But for that you have to keep the laptop on... If you want you can wake up a laptop in sleep mode using Win7/Vista scheduler (tutorial - http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/166809-task-scheduler-wake-up-computer.ht… ) then schedule it to restart and by keeping linux as default in grub you can boot into linux. Then, once in linux, you can schedule your download (For GNOME I think there is a GUI for chrontab, GNU-Scheduler). For linux, I dunno how to do that... I am sure there will be some software for it. BTW, This is all possible if your motherboard supports ACPI ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Configuration_and_Power_Interface) which I think should not be a problem with most modern motherboards... Hope this helps.
