Select the project you want to stop fetching work, e.g. Malaria@Home.

Click the "No new tasks" button.

Goto projects tab.png


As you notice, the button changes to "Allow new tasks", the status of Seti@Home has changed to "Won't get new tasks". That's it. The project won't get new work in for as long as this setting is in place.
