I have Triband Night-Unlimited plan. (12pm-8am unlimited). I'll be out of town for 4 days, so would like to automate bitcomet to start downloading at 12.10, and stop at 7.50
I know how to start and stop programs, I found a nifty little software called Kirby Alarm. But how do I start and stop downloading? Also, is it necessary to stop the downloads before shutting down Bitcomet? Any danger of corrupting the file if I directly shut down the PC?
I'll ask my mom to start the PC at night, and shut it down in the morning. But everything must be automated.
 
I dont know whether bitcomet starts downloads automatically when you start it or not, AFAIK, it should. If you want to start bitcomet automaticall all you need to do is to use the task scheduler in windows... And no, it is not necessary to stop downloading before you exit bitcomet.

While shutting down the system, the OS will shut everything down in order (or atleast, the makers would want us to believe so). So unless there is a power outage and your system shuts down abruplty, there should not be any problem.
 
Well you would need your mom to start the torrent download too cause automated download startup is not there in any client :)
 
What!!! Thats asking for a bit too much :no:
It was easy when I was using emule. Just put emule it the startup folder, and your done.
 
Bitcomet does have autostart torrent... it used to work for me b4... now does not. Try it. Then whenever u start it up, it automatically starts dlding/ulding.

So task scheduler is all you will need as said above
 
hey!!
I have a BSNL Dataone connection...
my Pc automaticly connects to the net at 2 and bitcommet opens at 2:03 and starts downloads...:D
and I then use a .bat file to automaticly disconnect at 7:59...

So here is how I did it:D
Step one: Open bitcommet>>Options>> Preferences>> Appearences >> tick the "Auto resume tasks on bitcommet startup.

Step two: Open the windows task scheduler and shedule bitcommet to start at 12:01

that should take care of the bitcommet part...
Incase you want to automaticly connet to the net..

download this prg http://www.download.com/Macro-Express/3000-2094_4-10356877.html?tag=lst-0-1
That is Macro express..
use it to creat a task that connects to the net at 12:02
and if you want make a task to shut down the PC at 8:03AM

I have not yet figuired out a way to automaticly start up the comp... so.
For the dissconect part...

open notepad and past this there
Code: 
rundll32 iedkcs32.dll,CloseRASConnections

name the file "disconnect.bat" (with the double quotes to avoid double extensions..

use task shduler and set it to lauch at 7:59..

test it all out.. and then Enjoy:D
hope this is understandable.. most ppl say that my logic has not got any order...
but...

have fun..
