Hi All
My ISP requests that I schedule downloads during off peak hours and as I'm looking at downloading a DVD image, I'm wondering how I can start my download.
Of course I could wait until midnight and start the download but I wondered if there was a more automated way. Even to stop at 08:00 and resume the following midnight. I know that I could use cron but I would need to specify a time and the download location, which seems a little scary. I'd usually use lftp but maybe another client might offer a solution? Just thought, might wget do the job? Any suggestions anyone?
