Help with setting up scheduler...

Hi, i was hoping someone could help me with the settings of scheduler in SAB.

Ive just been told by my ISP I'm downloading too much, too often, so want to limit my downloads to 15 GB a day, between the hours of 12am and 9am.

Im using SAB 2.3.3 [1f04343] on a 64 bit Windows 10 system with the latest fall update.

Ive gone into the menu - switches - quota section, and, without knowing how to attach a screenshot, filled in the following data.

Size - 15G

Quota Period - Day

Reset Day - 12:00 (thats a time)

Auto Resume is ticked.

Changes Saved,

Then I went to Scheduling, and created a schedule for resume, Daily at 12:00am, and Pause all, daily, at 9:00am.

Back in the main download window, I have one warning " 10 hours ago: Quota Spent, Pausing Downloading". 10 Hrs ago is 12am (at the time of writing). So something didnt work properly. And my queue of files has built up, and nothing has downloaded since implementing the settings.

Thanks for your help.

You don't need to setup the scheduler, the quota system can automatically continue after the reset period (a Day in your case).
You should check the "Auto resume" checkbox.

You can use of course the scheduler to add extra Pause.
