you can't really schedule downloads as they require slots from remote people that you have little to no controll over. setting it so that no other file downloads until X finishes is likely to be a bad idea as if you dont get a slot you are wasting your bandwidth. The best way I find is to manipulate my priorities, highest on anything that is nearly finished or that I really want, and high for anything I want next.
