pmshah Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Apparently my earlier request for additional feature above has not been considered important enough so I came up with my own solution.I have a volume based 2mbps Internet service which also permits me unlimited downloads from 2.00 am to 8.00 am. So the scheduler periods provided by µTorrent are not acceptable to me. I am not willing to sacrifice 1 hour of free download time everyday simply to play it safe. What I did was to change the time on my pc clock. I simply added 5 minutes to my internet time syncing software from what it was supposed to be. The built in time zones in windows do not permit this so I am using ats.exe from AnalogX, i.e in place of gmt + x hours & 30 minutes I set it at GMT + x hours and 35 minutes. Now I have enough time for the µTorrent to shutdown Gracefully. BTW my ADSL modem/router runs off of 12 v DC power supply. I stopped using the furnished power supply for the modem & picked this up from the PC it self so that the modem also switches off with the PC. Also this PC is used essentially for downloading files by torrent & http protocols. It does not matter to me that the PC clock is off by 5 minutes.

Firon Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 A better scheduler is planned for 1.8.1 (maybe 1.9). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 When did it get bumped from 1.9 to 1.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Well, the target is 1.8.1 (as are the targets for many other potential changes), but if the changes become too large in scope, I wouldn't be too surprised if it gets pushed back to 1.9 anyhow.
