Well, there are already several threads in this section of the forum regarding scheduling downloads from 2-8(BSNL happy hours)
But i thought i'll add mine too with screenshots...here goes
First of all you will need three basic things...(1)reconnect.exe and (2)utorrent and (3)shutdown.exe...all three are freeware...extract reconnect.exe and shutdown.exe to your desktop or any folder you want and install utorrent.
start your torrents in utorrent and pause them
also i assume your BSNL broadband connection is in bridged mode, if not change it like this(basically you will be dialing your bsnl broadband connection everytime you want to connect)-------

next step is to open control panel and go to scheduled tasks..

then browse to the desktop/folder where you have extracted reconnect and click on it-----

in the next step you be asked to enter username and password.enter the password or if you dont use a password to log on to windows, just click next...tick "open advanced properties for this task when i click finish" and click on finish...you might get an error like how i have shown, but ignore it-----

then in advanced properties for reconnect, under the task tab, tick "run only if logged on"....and under schedule tab, you can get the task to repeat under advanced scheduling.

this is the important step if you dont want to keep your computer running the whole night...under settings tab, tick "wake up computer to run this task" and click ok.

follow the same steps and schedule utorrent also. you can schedule utorrent to start downloading automatically at 2.15AM...
for shutting down your pc, follow the same steps again for shutdown.exe..you can shut down your pc at 7.50 AM like this-----

make sure you have the "connect at start" option ticked in reconnect.exe as i have shown the picture-----

last but not least, the most important step...HIBERNATE YOUR PC, DONT SHUT DOWN before you go to sleep-----AND KEEP YOUR MODEM SWITCHED ON(AND IF YOU USE A UPS, KEEP THAT SWITCHED ON TOO)
well, this procedure works for me very well...i have tried this for almost a week and have had no problems at all...you dont need any paid/shareware software and its pretty simple and straightforward....
thanks to the other guys who have posted similar tutorials and the valuable suggestions i got from those tutorials, esp yrana2002 who has posted a similar tutorial here
P.S----this doesnt work for rapidshare..for rapidshare you can use one of the various download programs available like cryptload, Elephant,etc if you dont have a premium account(not sure if they work, just google them to download the applications and try them if you want)....or if you have premium rapidshare account, you can use Rapidshare manager or there's a good tutorial already posted on the website of Rapidshare's verified reseller in India
