CTRL-A to select all doesn't seem to work in any tab. In particular I often want to select all the downloads to retry. I know there's a "retry all" but that doesn't seem to get the instruction to all the computers.
There is a reason why downloads stall, often an overloaded server.
You know there is an automated way to do so.
C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks\examples
look for <refresh>
You must copy the resulting file -> C:\Program Files\eFMer\BoincTasks and restart BoincTasks.
I copied the file just leaving
<config>
<refresh>
<auto> 60 </auto>
</refresh>
</config>
(And the notes)
And restarted Boinctasks, but after 60 seconds it hadn't triggered a download for the local or any of 5 remote computers with things waiting.
P.S. You should accept gridcoins for donations - it's what many of us earn for running Boinc projects.
I haven't used it for some time, try:
<config>
<refresh>
<downloads>60</downloads>
<uploads>3600</uploads>
</refresh>
</config>
That doesn't seem to do anything either. Is there a way I can see if Boinctasks accepts the config file, in the same way Boinc objects if I get an app name wrong in the config?
Or can you test it yourself? Disconnect your internet while there's a download in progress, then see if it keeps trying.
You should find it in BoincTasks logging, like 29
August 2022 - 13:37:15 config.xml ---- localhost auto download/upload refresh, max: 300 Seconds
I put in the config 60/3600 like you suggested, but the log is reporting 600/3600. Is there a hard coded minimum?

It should have, because a shorter time could overload the servers on the other side.
Too often will load the server with a lot of extra request.
