I'm just curious, but why on earth would you want you computer to turn off by itself at 5 in the morning?

lol because i have offpeak time on my downloads because i can download 12gig between 12:00pm and 12am and 24gig at 12:00am to 12:00pm so then if my comp can turn off at 5:00am itl turn off before my parents wake up
