In your general preferences there is a "Confirm before connecting to the internet" checkbox. Change that to "yes".

The only reliable way, in my experience anyway, is to use the "Disable BOINC Network Access" option on the main BOINC File menu.

Leave this option selected (ticked) until you want to upload/download. When you do, go online, deselect the above option and allow BOINC to upload/download, reselect the option and then go offline.
