It's easy enough to create a schedule for it to switch on for 4 hours every night and then go into standby again, just before you leave for vacation. I use it to switch on my laptop at night to do its own backups.

You set the time of startup in the BIOS (most mainboards offer that capability) and the shutdown time you also either set in the BIOS (if possible) or use shutdown.exe with a given delay to turn the computer off.

My friend uses shutdown.exe to reboot his router computer at home every five days (the software firewall he uses performs better this way), works like a charm.

I don't see how fansubbers will benefit from this. Even if this is implemented, the problem will still be the initial distro since this won't speed it up. What this does automate the download process on the leecher end which as stated above can be implemented now.

True. And the bigger issue is finding the fansubs first. It's one of the easiest to figure out, but the biggest one to overcome.

"Who is subbing what?"

In the other thread about professional fansubs, I put up one where it's similar to the way you can grab CD information on the PS3. Just with media. "This media has multiple subtitles, which would you like to select?"
