Is it possible for my computer to auto connect to the internet at a given time....IE: 1:00 am.

Or if I stay connected How can I get certain Programs to connect at certain times?

The dilema is this: My isp gives me 15 gigs a month during peak hours and 67 gigs off peak hours. So I would like to do my downloading at 3:00 am to 8:00 am to make use of this cap. The prob is I have to wake up at 3:00 to do so?!?!
Any ideas?

try download accelerator plus. click here (http://www.tucows.com/preview/193995.html) you add the url, hit download later, then right click on that url and hit schedul download. then you hit the "scheduler" button and type in the time you want them to start.:)

what you could do, is figure out what you want to download, close kazaa. then go to control panel> schedul task and make a new task, type in the location of kazaa, then tell it to start at whatever time you want to, then to have it finish at the time you want to, go to the settings tab and tell it "stop task if it has been idle for..." and figure out how many hours there are between when you start it and when you want it to end...and there you have it :) hope it works.
