would it be possible to have the download manager shutdown the computer on  
completion of downloads?not everyone is on broadband,there are still many  
unlucky soles that are stuck with dialup for a while and its not always  
possible to finish a download before retiring to bed,and im not happy  
about leaving my computer unattended all evening while i sleep.

I would imagine that would be horrible.  My computer is old, and it
takes quite a long time to boot up.  I would hate to download something,
want to install it, and the darned thing turn itself off.

Isn't there something in your Internet Settings to only dial when
necessary?  Seems to me I remember my computer/ISP dropping the
connection after some time of inactivity.
