Most of my processing is done while I'm sleeping. Due to my ISP contract, I only go online from 6pm - 8am or at the weekend. A lot of my processes finish during the night. I's like to configure UD to auto-connect to the web, do its stuff and disconnect. I'd also like my Outlook Express to take its turn when this happens.

Can I configure my system to do both tasks at once?

I think you can set the times of operations in UD. I looked at it last night, but I was just messing around. When I get home I'll let you know where to go.l

Yes, you can do it. UD runs untill it completes a work unit, then if it doesnt see an internet connection, it checks every hour to see if one is on. You can also look on the UD forum for a program called UD monitor? that people have been using to cache UD work units. That would also help for those of you on Dial up :) peace
