hey!! ne1 out there using dataone like me???
well, v hava reason 2 b unhappy 'cos they r giving only 1GB download/upload per month. But there is 1 small reason to be a "lil" happy. 2 AM to 8 AM is free for unlimited usage. To take advantage of this, i created a scheduled task to start downloading using Download Acclerator Plus (DAP) at 2:10 AM & shutdown the system after download completes or at 7:55 AM, whichever occurs first. Ok, heres the procedure to do that. I did this WinXP home and DAP version 7.2.
1. Start->Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Scheduled Tasks.
2. Click next & select a program from the list or click "Browse" button to select ur own. I selected DAP frm the list.
3. Type a name & choose an option from the 1ce given. I chose daily.
4. Give a start time. As for this, give it as "2:10 AM" & select a start date.
5. Enter ur user name & password.
6. If u wan something else 2 b configured tick off the chk box & say "Finish".
Now, u gotta config DAP to start downloading at 2:10 AM. Other download managers vil surely a similar feature.
1. Fire DAP frm Start->Programs->Download Accelerator Plus->Download Accelerator
2. Goto Options->Preferences.
3. Select "Scheduler" from the left side menu & select the chk box
4. Tick the chk box dat says "Start scheduler at..." & select "Daily" & give the time of starting. If u want give the time at which the scheduler has to stop.
5. Select the options from "After scheduled downloads stopped/finished".
6. Click "Apply" & say "Close".
Dats!! it u can now close DAP, leave ur comp on & happily go 2 sleep......Today i have scheduled for 2 downloads from channel9. The 1st 1 is here & the 2nd is here, if u want to c them. They both promise 2 b gud. bye!! n have a gud day.... ;-)
Update: Read through Part 2 also.

Nice to know there is one more person who is both happy/angry with BSNL Broad band.
BTW try Free Download Manager (http://www.freedownloadmanager.org) it has all the features of DAP, plus it is free and so u don't need to see those flashy ads and it is also ligth weight.
Congrats, and happy Downloading, Aswin....
And, BTW, I saw somewhere that you need to atleast Restart your Modem before Starting Download, or atleast restart your Connection, since then, and only then you'd get a new IP....
And, As for FDM, as sudar says, It's also lightweight and a Bit more feature rich, perhaps, but, It's been crashing for me off late.....Due to the Really Heavy Downloading lists it has got!
Thanks, guyz i have downloaded FDM & 2nite, i have scheduled for another video at channel9. Its UI is way too better than DAP or flashget. :-)
Good to know that you started to use FDM. BTW have u seen the office 12 video from Channel 9?
yet to download that. its scheduled for tonight :)

Yeah sure, i have saved that page.
There is a catch though - I think you need to start a new session after 2AM. Which means, you need to restart your router at 2AM. Last time around, i got a huge bill inspite of scheduling my downloads.
hi Sharath, i again scheduled again today for downloads from 2am to 8am. It is starting a new session by itself for the day sometime after 12am.
Check out this utility

Aswin, when there is some inactivity for quite some time, the huawei router automatically times off and disconects from the bsnl server [that is when you see the green light]. I suppose, some or the other application in your system makes a web request and a connection established again. All this happens while you sleep.
I still havent found out a way of restarting the router at 2AM. Will let you know once i work out something.
hi Sharath, i have added a new blog item on how to restart the modem at 2AM....chk that out.
hi, during always on mode, u can specify the idle time after which the modem gets disconnected. when u pass some request for a webpage, it reconnects automatically...
hi of indian economy, can u come to my house? my modem is repair since australia is near by....
dei goyya, u come here n call me ha ha ha!!
