There isn't 'yaourt -Sw' option (download only).
i have limited bandwidth in morning but unlimited in night.
i can put 'pacman -Sw --noconfirm pkg pkg' OR 'pacman -Syuw --noconfirm' in script and run it via cron at set time, then in morn do 'pacman -Su' so as to read all output; but not with 'yaourt'.
or can it be done in some other way?

edit your /etc/yaourtrc and add a line:
NoConfirm yes
and yaourt should work as pacman --noconfirm

yes, but
yaourt - Sw pkg downloads AND installs pkg
while
Pacman -Sw pkg downloads only.
So yaourt doesnt 'download only'?

I am pretty sure you can use the command to download them with pacman and then when you want to install them later you can use yaourt. But I do not know if yaourt can download and not install tought. I looked trough their website and it does not mention anything about this.

Yes, I'm a bit confused about this one. Why not just use pacman -Sw? The packages yaourt takes from AUR are just PKGBUILDS, you would have to then run the install on each of those to actually get the files it needs.

yes finally have settled on this --
via cron --- pacman -Syuw --noconfirm
and in morning do--- yaourt -Su
(coz colourful output is helpful. editing .pacnew files too)
Thanks all.

Since net.reg wants to download I guess he means he wants download pkgbuilds and execute `makepkg -o' instead of `makepkg', doing so he will be ready for making and install in a second moment. If dependences permit you might even make and do not install.
