Wait before copy

Let´s say I´m downloading a file. I know the download will be done in 15 minutes. Once finished the file will be copied to a different drive storage (USB). But I need to leave the computer.
Is there any option to tell TC to wait ie 25 minutes and only then start to copy such file? My idea how it should work:
a) open Copy dialog, input a command Wait: (minutes/seconds specific), then F5/F2, basically creating a queue
b) go to the downloading file, F5/F2 on the file where I want to copy it, standard operation. The file will be now in the queue, waiting for the Wait command. After 25 minutes the copying will start.

Thanks

You can use menu net - FTP download from file. This also works with local file operations, e.g.
copy:c:\path\file.ext -> d:\otherpath\file.ext

The delay can be added with the sleep command, e.g.
copy:c:\path\file.ext -> d:\otherpath\file.ext
sleep:60000
copy:c:\path\file2.ext -> d:\otherpath\file3.ext

The delay must be given in milliseconds, so 60000 would be 1 minute.

That´s neat, thanks a lot for the tip.
Would love to see that feature in the standard copy dialog as well, ie via advanced options.
But thanks again.
