I found that BOINC does not try to download new tasks when there is some suspended task in project - I found following entry in log:

Not requesting tasks: some task is suspended via Manager

I would like to have an option to disable this. Today I am participating in PrimeGrid challenge, and wanted to stop crunching SoB task (it still needs over 5 days to complete), and resume it after challenge end. Unfortunately BOINC does not allow to do so. Please add option which will allow to disable this behavior, sometimes it would be handy. Alternatively you can add some "hard suspend" command, this also would help in such case.
