I am currently having to record a radio programme from 11pm to 2am. Not being a night owl this involves leaving the computer on line all night. This is gobbling up my download time. I have found a program that will logoff dial up internet at a preset time. Has anyone come across a similar program that will do the same with Broadband? TIA

Softus,
The OP could be on a CAP broadband agreement where they are charged if they use more than a set amount of bandwidth, usually 5 or 10GB a month.
OP,
A software timer program here:

It should do what you want, shutting down the PC after a set time.

Well you're right, and I had thought of that, but surely the OP wouldn't have written "time" if he meant something else.
BTW, if you'll permit me to be uncharacteristically picky for a moment, bandwidth isn't a capped commodity, because it's a transient rate, not a cumulative quantity of bytes.

I stand corrected in my use of words.
But you know what I meant.
It all depends upon either a cap or fair user policy if he is going to be charged for exceeding his download limit.
Still, found him some free software to do what he wants.

Many thanks to all who replied. Just to clear up a couple of points: first, computer is downloading all night and 5 nights a week and I have download limit of 5Gb. second, thanks to Dave m for the prog, unfortunately, this only hangs up dial up internet. I cannot shut down the computer because the downloads need to be saved to listen later. If I can find or modify a prog to disconnect my wifi this would solve the problem.
