Auto Shutdown turns off your PC when your download is done

Auto ShutdownIt's 2 in the morning and you really want to go to bed, but you've got another 72 minutes before that game/video/other thing you're downloading finishes.

Most of the time if you're in this situation you just leave your PC on all night, sending your energy bill up and killing the environment just a little bit more. If you use Firefox, there's a better way.

Auto Shutdown is a Firefox add-on that will shut down your computer when Firefox finishes downloading files. No, not every time you finish downloading a file. That would be silly. Instead, the application adds an option to your download menu and an icon to your status bar.

Unfortunately the application is Windows only for now, but the developers plan to port the add-on for Mac and Linux users soon.
