well, i where dsl and cable internet aren't availible and can never be, additionally wireless broadband is too expensive and so is satelite so I am stuck w/ dialup. Now this is tolearable but there is one problem. I want podcasts for my Zen but the downloads a large and scince we only hav 1 phoneline, i need to do them at night. I go to bet to early to complete most of my downloads so I need a program that shuts down and or disconnects my internet when a download is done and saved. There has to be something out there... Does anyone know of any such program? or something that serves the same purpose?

You can set an inactivity timeout in Windows.

 

 

 

I believe most dial-up providers will disconnect you after a certain amount of time anyways (unless you have a true unlimited dial-up account).
