+|Schedulable Downloads
+|Users should be able to schedule a download to begin at a point of time in future. This will be helpful to queue up downloads for times when the user is not browsing actively or when the bandwidth availability is higher or when the download limitations by the ISP does not apply (in case of a connection which limits the amount of data downloaded during the day and has no limits at night). Initially it may not cover downloads which require authentication. It can be a future enhancement. The final outcome will be something like this:
+) User finds a download link.
+) Right Click -> Schedule this download
+or -------- alternately
+) Tools->Downloads->Schedule a download -- In this case user populates the link field where as in the earlier case it is done automatically.
+) A dialog pops up asking the user when to schedule the download
+) User chooses time and saves the download to the queue.
+Further control over these queued downloads will be provided with the DM window.
+(The various control flow scenarios or use cases can be discussed in detail in a bug if this is accepted.)
