Use Disk Detection

Nowadays, steam supports compressed downloads. In some cases, Steam will download and decompress at the same time. In others, it will not. So, there will be times when your network is doing nothing but your computer is still decompressing the game files. This technically doesn't count as "download", but I added a feature to detect this and only shutdown the computer when the game is ready to play (downloaded & decompressed). The disk detection will only work with steam, not with other programs. This might not work 100% of the times.

Shutdown after

Select the time the program will wait before shutting down your PC after it no longer detects an ongoing download.

Speed threshold

Select the speed that will trigger the idle status. The program will only assume you are downloading if your current network speed is ABOVE the value you pick here. E.g, if you pick 500 KB/s and you are downloading at 400 KB/s, the program will assume that your network is idling and it will shutdown your computer. Pick a value that fits well with your connection speed.

Idle threshold

Select the time that it takes before assuming you are downloading again. E.g, your download finished but there is something in your PC using your network randomly. If you pick 5 seconds, that something that is using bandwidth will need to sustain 5 seconds of download speeds above your Speed Threshold before Steam Auto Shutdown assumes the computer is downloading something, which will reset the idle counter.
