I can't speak to some of your other questions, but I can offer a
suggestion for that one.
If you select 'do not communicate automatically' in the
advanced->manual communication dialogue box, the client will wait for
you to ask it to communicate.
I do the same here at college, since the firewall automatically blocks
off my access to off-campus sites 8 hours after I last log into it. I
also must initiate all connections regardless, but this doesn't impact
GIMPS (or, in my opinion, any sane distributed computing client).
