Auto Shutdown of System, I forgot to add in topic.

It has been requested loads of times before, Valve haven't done anything. Even though this would be a very useful feature

We just need enough people asking for that feature. I like the idea and I helped myself in the past by writing a bat file in windows, that shut down my system after a specific time. But a build in feature in steam would be much better, since it is really easy to add!

Expanding on what Mirek said you can get programs to schedule a shut down. I sometimes use one and schedule it for 30 minutes after the esitmated download completion time from Steam.
But if internet connection is unstable.

I feel like it won't ever be added.

It's annoying, because a great example right now is I'm downloading GTA V that's 60 gigs and will be done in 4 hours, at 3am when I'm sleeping. So when I wake up at 7am I can then turn it off, when it could've not been on for 4 hours.

And whenever this is requested there will always be people to defend the lack of the feature or tell you to "just use a third party program". And people always make up stupid reasons like computers consume more power when turning on/off, or that it could lead to security holes, or that it won't work perfectly 100% of the time.

Literally everything worth it's salt that deals with download management has an auto-shutdown.

I guess that's one thing consoles have over Steam currently.

I developed a small application doing this for you.
You can download the binaries from https://github.com/akorb/SteamShutdown/releases/latest or the source code and compile it yourself.
