Well, if that's really what you want to do, why not try the "Quit GIMPS" option (bottom of Advanced menu)? In v21 (but NOT previous versions!) selecting this option allows you to complete the current assignment then quit (which is what you seem to want), or quit immediately (which you probably don't want to do since PrimeNet will think you have abandoned work before completing the assignments. You can still continue, however, & report the results as they come in). If you already have new assignments which you don't want to run, they will automatically expire in about 3 months, or you could return them to the server using "Unreserve Exponent" in the Advanced menu (v21 only) or through the PrimeNet Manual Testing form.
