I don't run SETI every day and then only for a couple hours.
I have work downloaded that I will never complete.

I have set store at least .1 days
I have set additional to Blank

for Home I have

Blank
Blank

Seems like every time I disconnect and come back things have changed.

Is there any adjustment that I can make to those settings ?

Which preferences did you set, those on the web site, or in BOINC Manager?
What do you mean with every time I disconnect and come back things have changed, what things are you talking about?

Try using 0, not leaving it blank.
It probably doesn't expect a null value there, so it uses a default value.

How about a resource share of zero to make it a backup project so that it would only download the minimum work units to run at that given moment

Would that work ? I always set every cache to a very low number or 0 and it usually did what I wanted.
