---Program found, feel like idiot, nearest mod please delete, thank you for you time----

Okay, because my ISP plan at the moment has peak and off-peak hours at ridiculous times (4am-9am is the off-peak :fogetangry:​) so to actually make use of this off-peak download time specifically I need to run my download program at 4am (which funnily enough is when I'm often asleep).

Is there a utility that I can download from somewhere that will allow me to delay a program launching by a couple of hours? I ask the combined knowledge of GW in it's entirety.

windows task scheduler works for anyone else interested

also 4am to 9am is pretty convenient, mine is 1am to 7am

Maybe you should post your solution so that future readers can benefit from it, rather than just requesting a topic closure.

I found a program called Banshee Alarm, its a clock program that you can set programs for. I just turned off all the actual alarms and it works perfectly.

Not really, when I was trying to specifically use the off=peak hours to dl and not kill my daytime dl limit. I would have killed for 1 to 7.

But my problem was that I didnt want to wait until 4 in the morning to start my downloads.

Probably the only thing I like about my ISP at the moment is that my off-peak hours are between 2am and Midday, also this newfound knowledge will come in handy.

How do you know what your off-peak and peak download times is? I normally download from Bittorrent and always assumed the download speed is based on the amount of people sharing the torrent.

My downloads do work alot faster late at night up to the early hours of the morning but I just thought its because most the seeders/peers are from America so when I go to bed you guys wake up.
