I schedule my pc to start at 02:04 daily and utorrent at 02:06. The pc shutdown in scheduled at 07:57. Today it missed the shutdown, and when I saw the usage it showed this:

The shutdown schedule missed somehow and utorrent didn't stop. I lost around 95MB due to this. (The last column in the pic shows the charged usage).

My PC sometimes takes time to shutdown. It's happening from a few days, but never took so much time before.

PC stats:
AMD Athlon64 3500+
ASUS A8N-E
1GB DDR Ram

Will someone care to solve my problem?

use flashget. I use torrents for downloading linux ISOs. I get better speeds in torrent than using download managers.
