Hi everybody. I just enjoy this amazing Linux site and i already have a question ... How can i make mozilla download a file from a site at a certain time ? (there is a command or a script???????)

wget.
For instance, wget www.thesite.com/thefile

I'm working in a company and they allow us to download after 22:00pm. that's why i need to find a way to program the Linux computer to start download after this hour ...

Take a look at 'man cron' and at this link. It allows you to do certain things at specified hours, minutes, day, etc. In your case, because you'll probably be downloading something else each time I'd suggest creating a shell script that asks for the file's name (or takes it from another file, whatever) and insert an entry in crontab that will run the script when desired.
