Because I am on satellite (Hughes), I need to use a download manager to schedule large downloads at @ 2 a.m. How do I do so? (Using Windows XP)

How can I schedule a download to occur at a particular time? I have Hughes Download Manager, but am unable to get it to intervene in the download process. Hughes said that the settings have to be adjusted in either Firefox or Window, but I can't see where or how. Thanks.

Firefox doesn't have settings like that. You would need to install an external download manager which has a "timer".
