If we had that capability and I was going on vacation or going to be gone awhile with my computer off then I would not have to waste a download with a time frame I could not meet.

AFAIK it's a feature in the new client 4.22 (dev-stuff, potentially letal, don't try this at home ;-).
Although I have this yet, I havn't had the opportunity to test it in the last 2 days for that feature ;-)

Set the amount of disk space extremely low -- 0.01 megabyte or something like that.

BOINC won't be able to download without exceeding the allowed disk space, but it will complete work on-disk and upload it.

You could keep the computers on while you are on vacation and get lots of work units done!

The data server NAS box may be OK at this point,
although we have not subjected it to the full production load yet.
We currently have the data server turned off
so that the file deleter can at least
partially clear a large backlog
of workunit and result files that are scheduled for deletion.
This backlog is a hold over problem from when our database server
was on a slow machine.
Validation and assimilation are both currently on.
