Is there a way to set your preferences so that BOINC will download multiple WU's so that in a case like today, where upload/download is not working, you have plenty of work in reserve?

In your account preferences set it to contact the server every 5 days. This means it will download 5 days worth of WUs - when it starts to work again.
