Shutting down computer after utorrent downloads or at a particular time



This may come in handy when you wanna shut down your computer after some time like an hour or so. Also for connections like BSNL which have free download only from 2am-8am. Here are two methods without the use of any additional software.

Option 1: utorrent has an option for this utorrent->in menubar options-> Auto shutdown-> select shutdown after downloads complete or hibernate after downloads complete

Option 2: Sometimes your download doesn't complete in time coz of less apeed or seeds etc. So now
start > run > type cmd and hit enter
cmd opens

type shutdown /s /t and the amount of time you in which you want your system to shutdown/turnoff in seconds

your command should look like this

shutdown /s /t 60

this will shut down the computer in 60 secs

Here:
/s means shut down
/t means time
60 means 60 secs

After you type in this command and hit enter a small pop up at the corner of the screen will tell you how many seconds is left for the computer to turn off.


Suppose you wanna cancel the command type
shutdown /a


If you feel calculation of time in secs is hard then use this website
