Permanently cancelling downloads

Good afternoon!
I am currently running iTunes 11.0.4 and was wondering if there was an option to prevent TV episodes/Movies from downloading after purchase? I have grown accustomed to streaming purchased content when needed. However, after purchasing a new TV seasons - I am currently forced to download the full set of episodes, to then simply delete it all - wasting rather a lot of bandwidth and time. I can delete and stop the downloads during any given session however the downloads simply restart the next time I open iTunes and stack up within my account which appears to cause numerous errors and login issues. Many thanks!

Hi there,
It sounds like you may have Automatic Downloads enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information about this feature as well as how to disable it.

Cancelling downloads

Hi I have 6 HD TV programmes which have been downloading from the store for months (I cancel/delete them every time I sign in but they resume on every start up). I don't want them - how do I permanently cancel the downloads? Thanks.

So are you saying that, if I delete the file from the media card (even if it hasn't finished downloading) that it should cancel the download?
No, I am not saying that. I was just trying to help you find where your files download to.

Don't click to download files you don't want.

HT5772 How to cancel downloading update?

I accidently hit the wrong button. How can I cancel downloading update?

Hit pause... Trash the download from the download folder. Also clear the downloads... in Safari.

How do I stop (permanently) automatic downloads of specific items - in particular, movies that I have downloaded on another pc and copied these to the computer I am now using?

Hi michael emerald,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you would like to download your purchased content directly to your iPad and not have to go through iTunes to sync it. You can download individual purchases directly from the iPad using the Purchased section. Please use the attached article as a reference.
Download past purchases - Apple Support
Have a great day,

What technologies are you using and where have you put the staging area?

Ask to downloada pdf: download progress zero, close, cancel download, re-open ff download finishes!

This was happening before FF 36.01 and also displayed garbaged fonts etc. in viewed pdfs
Now have set all pdf's to use Adobe Reader 9.5 and display is OK.
But the download progress bar does not move from 0.
When I quit FF it says that this will stop download: OK this. No file in directory
Immediately re-start FF and look at download progress: rapidly moves to finish
File now in folder !!!

Although Vista is SP2, I'm way behind on updates (I know !!, but I prefer not to upset a working PC having had bad problems in the past).
Neither of these KB's is installed and the problem only appeared a few weeks ago, not sure when, since I rarely download pdf's.
Since switching all application options named 'Adobe Acrobat...' to 'Use Adobe Reader 9.5' the font problem has disappeared, but the odd download behaviour remains.
I find it puzzling that the download continues on reopening Firefox despite having clicked OK on 'This will cancel download' when exiting the previous session.

For which downloads we pay - folio downloads, or including erros and canceled downloads?

My question is quite simple - for which folios we pay to Adobe (or which folios are deducted from our credit) - just Folio downloads, or for all downloads, including errors and canceled downloads?
Thanks

I'm thinking apps that have 100% download, I also want to know whether an update counts towards a download cost.
It will be good to get Adobe to confirm

How to cancel downloading in JAVA FTP?

I tried to write a java ftp client to transfer files within our network. One of very usefully function I want to add is to cancel the transfer while files
are downloading or uploading. I can do this on file uploading by closing "ftpclient.put(filename) methods at anytime, but have trouble on closing "ftpClient.get(remoteFilename)". When I tried to close it by using "in.close()", the program stucked. I even tried to kill the thread, but no luck. Can any one give me a hint? Here is the code:
protected void downloadfile ()
byte [] buffer = new byte[BUFFER_SIZE];
try{
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(Localfilename);
InputStream in = ftpClient.get(remoteFilename); //downloading
// Write to local file
while (true && !cancelORnot)
// write to file
} catch ( Exception ex) { }
finally
try {
if (out ! = null)
out.close(); // this can be closed at any time
if (in != null)
in.close(); // This one stucked if it is in the middle
// of downloading and can not disconnect to the
// ftp server
catch ( IOException ex)
Thanks!

Thank you for replying. I am sorry I forgot including FTP API
information.The FTP API I used is from SUN, JDK, sun.net.ftp.FtpClient. The method is " InputStream in = ftpClient.get(remoteFilename)"and "in.close()" should close downloading. while it is still downloading, in.close() will not work and hang my program on forever. I am just wondering if there is trick to close downloading whenever I want especially in case that network connection is too slow and I want to cancel the job.

How does the ftpClient.get("fileName") work? Also, are you running everything in the EventDispatchThread? If your running everything in the EventDispatchThread then ftpClient.get() will need to finish before an event can be handled.
If thats the case, you could use a SwingWorker to do the downloading so that the Event Thread is available to handle the cancel event.

Cancel download method when the user cancel the download file

I have a method that download a file ("downloadLog_action()")when the user click over the comandlink component and the dialog box is opening to save the file, but how to know that the user canceled the download file to cancel all accions.
This is the code of the commandlink in the jspx page that call the method and pass one parameter:
<af:commandLink binding="#{ConsultaValidacion.commandLink1}"
id="commandLink1"
action="#{ConsultaValidacion.descargarLog_action}"
text="Log">
<f:param name="codInstitucion"
value="#{row.CodInstitucion}"
binding="#{ConsultaValidacion.codInstitucion}"
id="codInstitucion"/>
</af:commandLink>
This is the method to download the file:
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)fctx.getExternalContext().getResponse();
response.setContentType("application/x-download");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachement; filename=\"Log_" +
codigoInstitucion + ".txt\"");
response.setContentLength((new Long(blob.getLength())).intValue());
//Streams de entrada y salida
InputStream is;
OutputStream out;
try {
//Obtenemos el stream de entrada el cual se lo extrae de la BD
is = blob.getInputStream();
//Obtenemos el stream de salida para el cliente
out = response.getOutputStream();
//Sección de código que me permite escribir los datos en el stream de salida
int size = (new Long(blob.getLength())).intValue();
byte[] buffer = new byte[size];
int length = -1;
while ((length = is.read(buffer)) != -1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, length);
//Cerramos los streams
out.flush();
is.close();
out.close();
*//Una vez descargado todo el LOG actualizamos el contador. HERE IS THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE COUNTER IS UPDATING WHEN THE USER CANCEL THE DOWNLOAD!!! AND ITS WRONG*
row.setNumDescargaLog(new Number(num + 1));
//Guardamos los cambios
webRvc.getAppModuleWebRvc().getDBTransaction().commit();
//Request lifecyce understands that the response is completed and no further action needs to happen
fctx.responseComplete();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
webRvc.close("Consulta bitacoras validacion");
return null;
} catch (JboException ex) {
webRvc.getAppModuleWebRvc().getDBTransaction().rollback();
webRvc.close("Consulta bitacoras validacion");
return null;
This works fine.
The problem occurs when the user cancels the download, because all the sentences run including updating the counter downloads, the counter only to be updated only when the user chooses to save the file.

Hi.
The problem is when the user cancel the dowload I do not know how to capture the user's response.
How to capture the response?
if(cancelled) <------Is there a parameter to tell me this?
......<your cancel code>..... none
else
.....<your non-cancel code>...THE METHOD THAT DOWNLOAD THE FILE - "downloadLog_action()" and increment the counter
Thanks.
