Hi all,
I am searching for internet access manager, i am using limited Broadband Connection, in my plan daily from (2 am to 8am ) i can download free. I am in need of a software to schedule my internet connection only at particular time for example from( 2 am to 8 am) daily.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04.

If any one could guide me how to connect internet only at particular time. I am using DSL connection.


Thanks & Regards

You mean a download manager? d4x is quite convenient if that is the sort of thing you had in mind.

If what you want is a way to establish/cut your connection at a given time, you'll probably need to do a bit of scripting.

You can use cron-apt to automatically download updates at a certain time, I think the default is 4am.

Some download managers have built in scheduling, but you can just as easily use crontab to schedule downloads at a certain time.

For a list of download managers in Ubuntu take a look at http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?ke...id&section=all

d4x - Among others, its key features include proxy and SOCKS5 support, recursive downloading, wildcard matching, download scheduler, multiple download queues and more...
kget - KGet is an advanced download manager with support for Metalink and Bittorrent. Downloads are added to the list, where they can be paused, queued, or scheduled for later.

There is always jDownloader which is highly configurable and dependable. Its cross-platform so I can download a file in say Slackware and if I have to reboot into Win7 I can continue it there.
