Something that came up in the Einstein forums, at
http://einstein.phys.uwm.edu/forum_thread.php?id=8256

This person saw downloads happening even while he had set Einstein to
No new tasks. Turned out that it were server resends as he had done a
project reset while he still had undone and unreported work. So it
sent the work back to him.

Which makes me wonder, shouldn't the NNT flag prevent all downloads,
including resends, even while those are technically not new work?

What if you're in the situation where you want to do maintenance on
your computer, but run only some of your cache empty first? Then you
will set all projects on NNT, perhaps reset some of them to get rid of
the extra megabytes they occupy, while you run down only (short)
(some) work that you do want to upload & report. So you can't set
BOINC to Network Activity Suspended as that will prevent not only
possible resend downloads, but also uploads & reports..
