I had, with much difficulty, set iTunes to download my podcasts at the "free" time our ISP allows us, between 3 and 6 am. Didn't have itunes on at all today, and now, just before going to bed, I opened iTunes so it could download my podcasts while I slept... and it started downloading them all! I checked the time set for the download, and rather than 3:00 am, it said 10:00 pm! I tried Kirk's trick of changing the clock on my computer and resetting the download time, and then changing it back to 'real' time, and darned if iTunes didn't change the download time again when I changed the computer time. I don't understand this. I *wish* that iTunes let you hard-set the download time as well as the frequency. It would make my life so much easier. -becca -------------------------------------------- "There is no greater hatred in the world than the hatred of ignorance for knowledge." -Galileo
