Hi, a feature I would really like to see is the ability to tell BOINC to not download another task when finished with the active one. I have a computer that runs for a few days at a time on weekends and such and then will be turned off for a while, and will not be turned back on before the deadline of the active task. I would just like to avoid having a late or aborting a WU. Thanks.

This can be done now.
Go into the Advanced View of your client. On the Projects tab, click "No New Tasks". Then, when you want a new task, click "Allow New Tasks". |
