Sounds pretty creepy that the computer suddenly start stuff by itself...

Definately not as default, but perhaps as an option in Transmission?

Yes, it would be an option.

And what's creepy about the computer starting stuff by itself. It shuts down on its own, that's not creepy is it?

I would like this. It would make a great option for transmission. Often I turn transmission off while I browse for a bit, then kick myself the next day for losing gigabytes of bandwidth. I use crontab, but this would be far more easy.
