Or if you started to download a very big file form internet. It takes minutes or even hours if it is too big. You obviously don’t work at internet on your PC in this intervals because all your internet bandwidth is taken by downloading.
In those situations you want to shutdown your PC when the download completed. The estimated download time is shown under the download progress bar.
