Schedule Downloads during the “Night Free” – For Dataone users

Here is a simple trick which lets you download during the “Night Free” period without harming your sleep

STEP 1: Open a notepad, paste “rasdial <connection name> <Username> <password>”
eg. rasdial dataone_broadband mario_pant mario

STEP 2: Make another file named “disconnect.bat” and type in it “rasdial /disconnect” (there is a space between rasdial and /disconnect and no “”) and save it in that directory as the first file….

STEP 3: Goto Start>All Programs>Accesories>System Tool>Scheduled Tasks
when opened click on “Add scheduled task” click next (it will hang for a moment or two) then a list of progs will be displayed.. don’t panic that ur files arn’t listed…. click on browse and point to the dialup.bat file….. then set the schedule by following the instructions…. do the same for disconnect… give the time values correctly (ie. in my case 2:10AM to 7:50AM….the BSNL clock is 2 mins behind)……

STEP 4:  <”add scheduled task”> then chose the prog u wish to run from the list and follow the instructions….

Happy Downloading and a Sound Sleep
