I am using Sabayon 4.1 and have installed the latest Deluge. I would like to schedule downloads for between 4am and 9am but cannot find any plugin or preferences that allow this. I have done a search with the FAQ but cannot find any way to do this. It mentions a gnome scheduler to use but cannot locate that in my search either. Is there a simple way for a newbie. thanks.

Thanks. Have read through it and am more confused. Like all or most of the readers therein I am from Oz. I am downloading cron which I saw was part of the answer so will push on from there. Maybe someone else has a simple way or you may be able to expand on your suggestion. Many thanks.

I've never used it myself, so I would likely be just as lost...

once you've installed cron run in a terminal:
it's very detailed and also supplies some examples

SOLVED; I think. Once I read through it all and work out how to use it properly. Much obliged.
