Scheduling downloads in Azureus

[crazyjockey]

Hi,

Is there a way to schedule downloads in Azureus based on the time of day? I know I can get a bandwith throttler to do the same thing, but I was hoping there is a sneaky way to do it in azureus that I don't know about. A plugin perhaps?

Never mind, there is a plugin called speed scheduler that does what I was after.

Heres a guide

Many of you have no doubt wondered what the RSS Feed Scanner plugin for Azureus is all about, but perhaps have either been intimidated by its seeming ...

Hey

I'd thought I'd bump this thread rather than creating another.

I am having all sorts of problems with the rather simple tasks of creating a scheduler with the plugin Azureus Speed Scheduler (http://students.cs.byu.edu/~djsmith/azureus/index.php).

My isp offers peak and off-peak download times. So I want to take advantage of the off-peak download time I want to create a schedule using the plugin.

eg
Peak (7am - 1am)
Off peak (1am - 7am)

This is what I did

Schedule 1 - Pause Downloads
from 7am to 11:59pm

Schedule 2 - Pause Downlosds
from 12am to 1am

After the schedule is set, I then queue the torrents I want to start. I am assuming that the torrents with not start physically downloading until 1am.

But, the schedule appears to be ignored and begins downloading at full speed.

Troubleshooting

I created a second set of schedules as an exercise

Schedule 3 - No Paused Downloads with speed shaping at 1kps

Schedule 4 - Paused Downloads but left speed shaping ticked at 1kps (the speed box is now grey)

After the schedule is set, I then queue the torrents I want to start. The schedule appears to be ignored and begins downloading at 1kps.

This occurs for both schedule 3 & 4

I have also restarted Azeurus but to no effect

I have restarted my computer with no effect

I have read the faq (http://students.cs.byu.edu/~djsmith/azureus/faq.php) and examined the problem with time with the plugin "Time - Environment Settings" (http://students.cs.byu.edu/~djsmith/azureus/faq.php#5) but this does not impact me.

Any thoughts?
