Default Program That Opens Other Programs at a certain time

Hey,
Im after a program that if you input a time frame it opens up the program when that time hits.
For example, my torrent program, i want it to open up between say 12am and 7am, download and then cut off, as to not use my peak download time.
Anybody know if this is available?
Cheers
Shane

Hey shane,

A good torrent program is utorrent. It has a scheduler feature incorporated into it already. You can limit the bandwith at what time and what days,when to download, shutdown and so forth. A great download torrent manager. Highly recommended. Hope it helps.

Yep, I use Utorrent as well - nice and small program, but the scheduler works well. Word of warning though - forced downloads may be ignored by the scheduler on "don't download" schedules, so stop the download and restart it to take it off being a forced download ;)

i've always wanted this too...because you get heaps of off peak downloads by heaps of ISP's but 90% of your time is used in on peak.

Okay Utorrent is doing the job.
The reason i stopped using it in the past
was because i never seem to get full speed,
your using azureus with the same ports forwarded
often gets me full speed. It's annoying.
Maybe i just imagine things
