I have been thinking to type this for a long time now. I had taken screen shots for this long time back. I have now got the time and the mind to type. Now below is the simplest way to setup scheduling in utorrent. It’s quite easy since scheduling is an internal part of it rather than like in Azureus, where it is a plugin so read this carefully. Though it’s quite self explanatory still newbies will like this as I have explained this step by step.

These are the steps you will have follow to get scheduling working. I have taken the model time for the scheduler to work from 2:00am to 7:59am (BSNL Dataone free timing).

1. Start your utorrent and press Ctrl+P or go to Options->Preferences.
   
2. Then click on Scheduler.
3. Now you will have to enable the scheduler for which you will have to check the box which says “Enable Scheduler”. This will allow for us to start the Scheduler.
   
4. Next step needs a bit of explaining. You can see that there are some thing around 24 boxes X 7 rows = 168 boxes. The rows represent each day from Monday to Sunday and each of the 24 boxes next to the days represent 59 minutes of the day starting from 12:00 am to 12:59 am and ending at 23:00 to 23:59. Then there are the dark green boxes, light green boxes and white boxes. The dark green boxes means that at that specific time the download will be at full speed. The light green box means the speed of the torrents will be according to what you set (which can be set below it). The white box means the downloads are queued or to put simply waiting for the right time. Here you can change the color in the box by simply clicking them once to make them light green and again to make it white and again to make it dark green again (One small trick is to make one box white and without clicking again or releasing the mouse button move the mouse to the parts which you want to keep white, it makes it easy). I have done the setting in picture above for your reference. Another thing to note is that you will never have to use the light green color box but you can use it to keep the bandwith usage to minimum but it might spike sometimes increasing from the speed set by you, so beware.
5. So just simply click “Apply” and “OK” to finish it.

Now you can sleep safely and be rest assured that your utorrent will download all those things you want correctly at the free time. And if you are scared that the BSNL Dataone times might be late just change your desktop clock to about 10 mins or so late, just to be on the safer side.
