Howdy, folks ...

I downloaded BOINC a couple of days ago, after using SETI@Home Classic for several years. With the Classic software, it was possible to tell the program to finish up and return any existing WU, without downloading new ones (if you were going on vacation and wanted to clear out the queues, for example).

I've looked at all the documentation I could find, but it doesn't seem that BOINC has this capability. Could someone tell me how to accomplish this? It looks as if BOINC will automatically give you a WU whether you want it or not ...

Thanks in advance,
Bill

So long Paul, it has been a hell of a ride.

Park your ego's, fire up the computers, Science YES, Credits No.

If you don't want to download new WU's, you can set your general preferences "Use no more than" soo low, like 0.001GB, you don't leave place for any WU to be downloaded.

By doing so, you will get a message "there was work, but you don't have enough space" or something similar.
