Guest bikedude880 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Check out Azureus, I think the original BT client allows this, possibly even Transmission.

Guest bikedude880 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Leo is currently only being run (successfully) by various developers. Right now, I'm getting it to work fully on my hardware and anything else I can plug into my comp.

Rammjet Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I don't see scheduling in any OSX BitTorrent app. Can do it another way though. Azureus will start any torrents found in a particular folder/directory. So, put your torrents in its watch location. iCal will run a script at a particular time A script like: open /Applications/Azureus.app Another script: killall Azureus Save the scripts as shell scripts then set iCal to run them at appropriate times.
