Comment 4 for bug 578625

 Thanks for reporting this bug and any supporting documentation. Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as confirmed and let them handle it from here.

Thanks to very good instructions, I am able to reproduce this issue in Maverick Meerkat. Once the download has started, it is impossible to interrupt until it completes. If I changed my mind or did not know it would download the file, it is not possible to stop it. Since I installed a single application, there is no verification needed. This could get expensive for bandwidth depending on where the individual is.

Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
