(moderation:
How do I stop boinc! (einstein@home) from automatically connecting to the internet to download its modules.
i am on a dialup connection and find that my PC is nearly always connected to the net. this problem has only started since running einstein@home and I am now dreading to see my next phone bill due to these extra connections.
I would like to remain a participant in this project, but i need to be able to choose when to download work modules.
Is there anybody out there who may have a solution for this problem?

Good luck, and happy crunching!

The confirm before connection was not working before 4.2x. I have not checked the status of this bug yet in 4.2x so I don't know how it is working.
