I often leave multiple downloads over night, and use the JD Shutdown feature to shutdown the PC when they're done.
Since JD knows which files are resumable or not, please add a control to shutdown the PC when all non-resumable downloads have finished.

Hope you'll approve.

And a quick question. Is Force Shutdown supported on XP? What does it do? I'm asking because occasionally JD 0.9x failed to shutdown my PC.

Nice idea.

Glad you liked it.
And regarding my question about the Force Shutdown feature? Can anyone help me with that?

Sorry, can't help without having access to old xp machine.
jd uses this command
shutdown.exe -s -f -t 01
maybe it's still possible to abort this, so any other tool aborting it?

Force shutdown is used when you have other apps running in the background just like in windows 7 (force shutdown option) so it basically forces other apps to close and then shutdown. About xp , not sure.

That explains it, thank you.
Didn't know that's how you shutdown the machine. Thought it might be some system call, or something.
