Hi everyone,

it seems like BOINC is ignoring the Project preferences I defined only the following applications to be run in my profile:
Sixtrack
CMS
Theory Simualtion
However BOINC allways downloads ATLAS Tasks. Is this working as expected or am I doing something wrong?

Best regards

Wilfried

At the preferences page the option "If no work for selected applications is available, accept work from other applications?" needs to be unchecked for the venue the computer is attached to.
You may check if that option is correctly set.
