To set BOINC to download the bare minimum tell it to:
Store at least 0 days of work and Store up to an additional 0 days of work. That will at minimum give you one task per CPU core and one for the GPU.

Depends on whether you used local preferences, or web preferences.
Web preferences are in your account -> computing preferences. Don't forget to save changes to the web site with the "Update preferences" button at the bottom of the edit page.

Or if you set them in BOINC Manager, it's BOINC Manager -> (Tools->Advanced view) -> Tools->Computing preferences... -> Network usage. These settings are called Minimum work buffer and Max additional work buffer in BOINC 7.4.42

Local preferences override web preferences.
