Lots to try. I'll see how it goes. Thanks Andrew On 03/05/2009, at 9:29 AM, James Devenish <jndeven...@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi Andrew, There are potentially several solution to your issue, the first of which you have already tried (i.e., using System Preferences > Energy Saver to set a wake-up time for your computer). Secondly, even if you your computer was on all the time (forgetting the sleep/wake energy issue for the time being), your torrent software might have a bandwidth preference with a specified start time and stop time. For instance, in Transmission, you can set your download bandwidth to be unlimited during your off-peak quota period and zero during your on-peak quota period. Thirdly, if you would like to have your software automatically launch you can still use a repeating event in iCal, either by opening files (to start a new download) or opening the application (to continue existing uploads and downloads). Unfortunately, as you already found out, iCal can only launch an application via opening a document or running an AppleScript. To make an AppleScript, go into Applications > AppleScript > Script Editor, then save a really simple AppleScript like the following (and save it somewhere you can find it, like Documents). Then iCal will recognise it. tell application "Vuse" activate end tell James. -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml> Guidelines - <http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml> Unsubscribe - <mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au>
