I'm running cp on two different machines, and the older one (an early PowerMac G4) is quite slow. So slow that I don't want to continue using it for cp after I've finished the current model. This is still going to take some time (months, probably: after nearly two months of continuous calculations, it's now in April 1817...), but I would like to know beforehand how to prevent it from downloading a new model once the results from the first are uploaded. This is because the Getting Started section clearly states:

"However, please try to finish your experiment once you have downloaded it - do not download the package just to see what it looks like. This constraint is necessary to preserve the scientific validity of the project as partially completed experiments cannot currently be passed on or evaluated."

The machine is on a network, so it has a permanent connection to the internet.

To avoid getting new work:

in the boinc manager, click on Projects
click on the line with climateprediction.net
several buttons on the left side of the window should now exist and be enabled.
click on the button \"No new work\".

After the current model is complete and results uploaded, you may safely detach.
