Do you have cron installed?

Thanks, I wish i could help, but no idea how that's done.
How about entering settings manually in the settings.json? would this work?

You're looking at a very old thread, Transmission has now an optional schedule to change speeds.
In the Web interface (a.k.a. Web client) open the Preferences (the little wrench icon), go to Speed tab, and set the alternative speeds, then enable the schedule, etc.
