Cancel download is not working
Description
>> I've attempted to copy resources across the network instead of downloading them twice and I find that right clicking the L4 Icon and selecting "Cancel download" has no effect.
Steps to reproduce
- Load the program and updates successfully on one system (desktop)
- Update laptop to L4B4 as well.
- on the laptop set Download resources to no
- share resource directory on desktop over the network
- map the shared directory as L: on the laptop
- on the Laptop load L4
- In the commandbar type "scan L:\" and hit enter.
- Restart the program.
- attempt to cancel the ensuing download by right clicking the icon and selecting "cancel download"
- notice that the download does not cancel.
Actual Result
Download will not cancel without killing the process in the task manager. I cannot tell if the download is across the network and slow or across the Internet.
Expected Result
I expect "cancel download" to have something around near instant results. Nothing of the sort, the download keeps going.
System Specs
- Laptop | Pentium 4 @2.4 Ghz 384MB RAM | Windows XP Home SP3, all patches.

At this point my concern is to save bandwidth by copying across the network instead of the Internet.

Thomas, are you saying the "ensuing download" was the big 1.9-2.3 GB download despite setting "Automatically Download Updates" to No? I was going to use the same method to update my desktop from the laptop.
Note: I had the same setting and this morning's smaller update did not happen for me (below).

Yup that's right Dave.
The download had started, I set it to no, told it to scan my shared drive and restarted the program.
Then I simply couldn't stop it without terminating the process.
I have no way of finding out if the download indicator was downloading from the internet or across my network.
It didn't occur to me until just now I could have tested by simply unplugging my router.... [:$]

I copied my laptop's L4 resource folder to a USB stick and now my desktop is indexing after being told to scan the folder on the stick.
