A friend of mine is going to university where they have a really good high speed connection. They are only allowed to use it for downloads between 1 and 5 in the morning, though. Is there any way to schedule Acquisition or Poisoned to run at that time?Official 68kMLA Music and NeXT Expert

ya, set two alarm clocks. one that goes off at 1am to wake you up to turn it on and one that wakes you up at 5am to turn it off.

I would start by looking into cron. It is the UNIX task scheduler. I dont know anything about just that it is there.--Eric

There are schedular programs for Mac OS X, and the new Panther OS has brought back the feature from Classic OS that you can set your computer to startup and shutdown at certian times. So, set these two programs to startup when the machine starts and set the machine to startup at 1 and shut off at 5.
