I agree - can any developers advise if such a modification could be implemented?
More specifically, id like the following functions.
[setup schedule]
Name: IE: OFF PEAK
Days in effect, - Everyday, or selective days.
Duration 2am -> 9am,
Instructions: Begin Transfer,
Exceptions, Allow download in progress to complete, adn then logoff - or no exceptions (hard disconnect at 9am)
On Completion: shutdown pc, logoff, etc.
++
Ability to apply to all files in queue or set the schedule up as a default and present the user with a dialog if the transfer was attempted outside the schedule.
ie: THE TRANSFER IS OUTSIDE THE DEFAULT SCHEDULE IN PLACE (2AM - 9AM)
(OPTIONS: 1) TRANSFER NOW - 2) DISCONECT AND RESUME PER SCHEDULE - 3) EDIT SCHEDULE
I'm sure you get the drift..
Many isp's in australia have off-peak data allowances.
I am registered.
PS: There is a basic schedule plugin in the bittorrent client azureus
http://students.cs.byu.edu/~djsmith/azureus/faq.php which allows hard schedules to be setup with various options.
Cheers!
