I have an interesting problem with BOINC 7.2.33 (x86) on Windows 7. If I code in an exclusive app (the ehshell.exe from Windows Media Centre, which runs when I watch live TV), I find that BOINC suspends running tasks while ehshell is active and goes back to running tasks when it isn't.
This causes a weird problem, however, that, regardless of whether ehshell is running or not, transfers seem to be suspended. Even if I set network activity always available, transfers remain suspended.
Is there something I'm missing as I can only get transfers running by removing the exclusive app entry from the config. Once that is done, transfers happen immediately.
