Project-by-project network disable (similar to communications deferred)

Description

Hi,

One thing which would be useful would be a way for the user to prevent communications to one particular project at a time (for example, when there are server troubles). If the existing 'communications deferred' facility could be extended to allow the user to defer communications themselves for a period of time, that would be sufficient.

Perhaps the facility should take into account the deadlines of any work units in progress.

This request is prompted by the recent server-out-of-space problems at CPDN which are causing problems for multiproject users on dial up networks (there have also been other ideas suggested to handle the same problem).

-Cheers,

Mike

This has also been suggested on a per file basis.

I agree with Mike. When the cpdn servers could not accept intermediate or final file uploads for a recent prolonged period, some multi-project crunchers who followed our advice to suspend boinc network activity while the problem lasted, ran out of work on other projects. I think this problem arose whether members had dialup or broadband.
