Problem Statement

Sometimes I am on a slow conncection and I don't want to take the bandwidth to run updates. I don't want to turn it off entirely but it would be nice if there was a way to stop a download when it starts from the UI. Maybe the next day it tries again but man it eats up bandwidth and when on a slow connection ... it can impead respones.

Proposed Solution

Just have a way from to the ui maybe a little x in the downloading pill to cancel the download.

Alternative Solutions

Use Case Example

Using my phones internet on my laptop. Already slow and using bandwidth.
Download starts and I don't want that taking up all of my bandwidth from Claude responses or my mobile data.
