Shutdown pc after download

For this follow these steps. Give a name to the task like Automatic shutdown or auto shut down windows as you wish. Then click next. Now choose the frequency of the task.

If you want to schedule the shut down at a particular time everyday or just one day select the option according to your convenience. Now set the time when the event will start. If it is set as one- time event then at the scheduled time system will shut down that day. If any other period is set then after every interval the task of shut down will be done.

You can use SmartPower to set a schedule that controls when your computer will turn off and on. To have SmartPower automatically power your computer off when a download process is finished, use the Schedules tab to set a Power Off rule. For example, if you usually go to bed around midnight, you can set a rule that will automatically power your computer off at midnight. Next, click over to the Networks tab and enable the Stay on checkbox. Select your network interfaces and specify a traffic threshold.

At the scheduled time — midnight, for example — SmartPower will try to automatically shut down your computer. Note that this traffic threshold also takes into account uploads, so take that into account.

You can get around this by setting an upload speed limit in your downloading program and setting the threshold in SmartPower above the upload limit, ensuring that uploads alone won't keep your computer on. You can have it pay attention only to input download activity rather than output upload activity.

The following examples are for uTorrent , but other download applications will often have similar features. When the download completes, your file-downloading program will run the shutdown.
