Comment: Dear Mechanix2Go; I am looking for a batch file like the one you had write for me to download update files. It works cool. Now I would like a batch that shutdown my PC when a download is completed. For example I use a bittorrent and direct links for download. Once these complete, I want the PC to shut down the pC. do you think that is possible? Regards

Reply: (edit)I do not think M2 will hate me if I suggest you the following: Close your batch coding ShutDown -s and your PC will stop itself.

Reply: (edit)The proble, however, is that you would have to initiate it manually. Thre's no way for the batch file to know when the download has completed. Michael J

Reply: (edit)You could just as easily schedule a shutdown. But, again, what if your download is not complete. Is the applicatin you use capable of resuming the download if it is terminated unexpectedly? Perhaps there are other bittorrent apps that have the ability to shut down the PC when the download is complete. Michael J

Reply: (edit)A (indirect) way to enable the batch to be aware of the download's end is to costantly (say every five minutes) monitor the files' size and presence in the target folder. If the files' size/number does not change since the last snapshot, the download is supposed to be terminated and then the shutdown command is issued.
