Speak for yourself. I found this very interesting and probably will get that program.

Agreed. It's better news than some of the other things I've seen on here. If ya don't like it, don't comment on it. Didn't momma tell ya "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."?

I think I'll get this, it'll have use for when I'm torrenting over night, or doing a virus scan.

I've been looking for a good one of these forever. My father likes to leave his computer running all night long.

A lot of the more popular torrent programs have a setting to turn off your PC when your Torrents finish downloading. At least I know uTorrent does.

Ooo nice find! I'm forever having to leave my PC on overnight when encoding videos/virus scans/etc because I have no way of shutting them down after the job is done.

Thanks

It takes one command in Fedora 13.

Why not just using power saving tool of windows???? It turn off your computer after a predefined lapse of unused time, and can even wake up your computer, do it's stuff (scan, backup, updates) and then return to hibernation state... It's all included with windows and working correctly...

agreed also...better than those stupid comments by users who don't like this article...PEACE!!!!!

Or get a decent downloader and tick the shutdown when complete box, just about every time consuming process has that option hidden away somewhere.

idk about other apps but bittorrent lets you set your own shutdown time, or shutdown when your torrents have finished.

utorrent has options to put your computer to sleep/shut down when your torrents are done. But this is still a handy app, I'm going to download it.

Windows... open cmd line and type: shutdown(space)/t(sp)xxxx(sp)/s where xxxx is time in seconds and (sp) is space. Enjoy..is free
