I periodically shut down & move servers ... how can I get Boinc to finish processing tasks without downloading any new ones? I tried aborting individual tasks (am doing World Community Grid projects), but it simply downloads - or at least begins another. In most cases, I could leave a server running until it finishes its current workload, then shut it down without "wasting" CPU time.

I'm running Boinc 7.4.2.3 x64 on most hosts.

Many thanks in advance!

Wonderful ... obvious really! I was looking under "Tasks", but it's under "Projects".

Many thanks Juha.
