hey all,
i hv limewire pro 4.10...i want to schedule all my downloads at a specific time(2:00 a.m, to be precise)....how can i do that???

pls help...
if it is not possible with limewire, then pls suggest me a P2P client which has this capability and has such a wide network......i dont want to use bearshare....i can use torrents, so pls tell me if some torrent-software has this capability

Azureus has a Speed Scheduler plugin available for scheduling, and I guess uTorrent has one inbuilt too (crap).

For limewire, just open Scheduled Tasks, make an entry for limewire to begin at 2:00 and one more command to kill Limewire at your desired time.

Allow permission in Norton to Magnet, it is a trusted one.
