I'd like to see a button "Restart Task" on the "Tasks" tab. If a task is selected, pressing this button would throw away computations, and restore the task to the state it was in when the download finished.

Reason: After months of waiting, I finally got some work units. But, my computer crashed twice. This BOINC project is very sensitive to being interrupted. To be on the safe side, rather than continuing from the last check point on file, I would have liked to reset them.

I use Linux O/S on a desktop.
