How can i schedule an auto shutdown after my transfers have completed BEFORE they have started. Right now the auto shutdown seems to only apply for transfers that have/are already started, and doesn't apply to the transfers that are offline (so it will just auto shutdown before my schedule has even started the transfers)

Tixati cant read your mind. if the transfer is not running or queued, how is tixati supposed to know you want to start it later?

If you scheduled start of new transfers maybe placing auto shutdown function in the same scheduled task would work.
