If you are playing with 64 bit apps, I came across a little-known setting in a config file for BOINC that will allow you to download JUST the 64 bit apps, even if the project also usually sends 32-bit as well.  Full details can be found HERE. Look at the last entry. It needs BOINC 5.9.10+ to work and details in the file can be changed 'on the fly' whilst the Boinc client is running by editing the file and then selecting 'read config file' from the Advanced drop-down menu.

I haven;t tried this particular parameter yet but have been playing with the logging entries.
