Scheduling, alt-speed, and the weekend

Post by Cadmus »

Hello, I've been using Transmission 1.75 as a daemon under Ubuntu 9.10 for a while, but I was never able to get the scheduler working as I would like. If the alt-speed-begin is a higher number than the alt-speed-end what does transmission understand by that? If I want it throttled between 1600 and 0100 does putting in a begin of 960 and an end of 0100 accomplish that or does it think I want it throttled from 0100 to 1600. If it does the former how does it decide which days to do it on? Does having the weekdays in give it an 'off by one' as it's wrapping over midnight?

My scenario is one where I want it to be throttled from 1600-0100 on all weekdays, and then to stay throttled for the entire weekend.

Or is this sort of thing a bit more complex than the internal scheduler was designed for and I'm better off cronning it? (with a little transmission-remote -AS or -as)
