Through the web interface you can modify the policy for each
"venue" (home, office, school) (or all at once) various caching
and crunching/network policies: cache between X and Y days of
work; only crunch/download if you've been idle for X minutes, only
between hours X and Y, etc.

External media transfer agents (like the import/export feature in
SETI Gate for SETI@home classic) will not be easily implemented in
BOINC because the BOINC scheduling server needs to know how fast
each computer is, what work units it already has, etc.
