Scheduling Question

Post by Bodach »

How would I tell newspro to download all new headers at exactly 4:30PM every day. No more, no less, just that exact time. I'd like to have it download headers and be done just before I get home from work.

I saw the auto download every X minutes, but that isn't working because when I close newspro it resets that.

If you don't have anything to download - you can use the scheduler so it will run pending tasks at the time (you can make header tasks pending with auto get headers option).

If you download bodies and given that the scheduler suspends all tasks it cannot be applied take into account that header tasks have additive nature - if downloading headers takes 1 hour - if you run it 10 times for 6 minutes it will take about the same time as running it 1 time for 1 hour, so if you run it for many times in total it will take the same amount of bandwidth like as you ran it for 1 time, so the auto get headers option is adequate in such cases.
