Downloader Script according to certain times.

[Uniquelol3r]

Hello, basically I have a deal in my internet package where from 2:00am to 8:00am, I have unlimited download bandwidth . However I don't think I will be awake at that time to Download. Basically, this is the script that I thought would work, however its not working properly, firstly it doesn't loop and if there it is not 2:00am it just stops.

What the script should do:

1. Run twenty-four seven.

2. If it is 2:00 am it should start the Download. 

3. If it is 8:00 am it should stop the Download.

#include <Date.au3>  
$StartTime1 = "02:00"
$EndTime1 = "08:00"
$CurrentTime = _NowTime(4);
$ImpossibleTime = "25:00"
AdlibRegister("_Check",1000*60)

While 1
Sleep(1000)
WEnd

Func _Check()
   If($CurrentTime >= $EndTime1) Then
      Sleep(3000)
      MsgBox(0, "Computer", "It is time to start the Download, 1)
      MouseClick("right", 252, 371, 1)
      Sleep(10000)
      MouseClick("left", 351, 410, 1)
   ElseIf
      Sleep(3000)
      MsgBox(0,"Computer","It is time to Shut Down the Download", 1)
      MouseClick("right", 252, 371, 1)
      Sleep(10000)
      MouseClick("left", 311, 449, 1)
   EndIf
AdlibUnRegister();
Exit
EndFunc

You never update the value in  $CurrentTime, you set it once when the script starts, and never update it again. Also, you don't do any check to see whether the time is between your start and end times, you're only checking to see if the current time is after the end time. You need to update the current time value inside the function, and you need to check to see if the current time is in between your start and end times, and then you need to check to see if the download has already been started if it is, and don't attempt to start it again.

I understand, mhmm thats pretty interesting can you tell me how will I be able to accomplish that? My programming is pretty bad.. ;(

Here's one way of doing it, there are many other ways of acheiving this, but this one is probably the easiest to understand.

#include <MsgBoxConstants.au3>
Global $bAlreadyStarted = False
$StartTime1 = "0200"
$EndTime1 = "0800"
AdlibRegister("_Check", 10000)

While 1
    Sleep(10)
WEnd

Func _Check()
    $CurrentTime = @HOUR & @MIN
    If $CurrentTime <= $EndTime1 And $CurrentTime >= $StartTime1 Then
;~       Sleep(3000)
        If Not $bAlreadyStarted Then ; Check to see if it's already downloading
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Computer", "It is time to start the Download", 1)
            $bAlreadyStarted = True
            MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Started", "The download is starting")
            MouseClick("right", 252, 371, 1)
            Sleep(10000)
            MouseClick("left", 351, 410, 1)
        EndIf
    Else
                Sleep(3000)
        MsgBox(0, "Computer", "It is time to Shut Down the Download", 1)
                MouseClick("right", 252, 371, 1)
                Sleep(10000)
                MouseClick("left", 311, 449, 1)
        AdlibUnRegister();
        Exit
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>_Check

Thanks I checked the script however for some reason, it again does the mouse click and the script stops.. furthermore I send you a message on adding, the script how it can recognize by looking at the window weather the download is not working or not.

If you have the title of the download window, you can try to have the script see the window by using WinExists, the WinExists tells you it's there, you can have your script skip trying to start it.
