Auto shut down software

[kaisterkai]

Good day...

I would like to know if there is something like Auto shut down for a computer?
Because I want to download things, but I can't shut down the computer after I'm done, so I want to know if anyone know of such thing..

THanks

flashget > tools > shutdown when done
uTorrent > options > auto shutdown > etc
probably a feature of most dl clients...

you can set a batch file..

shutdown -s -t (time in seconds)

just use calculator to multiply how many minutes you want * by 60
for example a three minutes shutdown would be:

shutdown -s -t 120


but im sure all download managers/ download things have an auto shutdown feature, look in the setting or options or preferences tab
and i think you can make a batch file like this:

shutdown -s
and then set Windows Task Schedule to run it at a specific time...

Orbit downloader also has a "turn off computer when done" function.
I also sometimes use a program called shutdown machine if I want to schedule a shutdown:http://www.brothersoft.com/shutdown-machine-183314.html

gadgets on windows 7 or vista has a gadget that autoshuts down or even restarts...

If you're using Firefox to download something, use the Auto Shutdown plugin.

sounds complex.. think i'm going to stick to the Downloader system thingy...

Well I'm planning to do a huge download, and the site I'm downloading from doesn't allow me to download more than one at once... so it's going to take me a while if I'm going to use firefox.. so I think i'm just going to use a downloader.

Thanks anyway
