Bug Description

When upgrading to Feisty I ran the Update Manager. I clicked to upgrade, and my download started. The download was extremely slow (500 bytes/sec max) so the updater predicted a 6 day wait. This was too long so I needed to cancel, but there were no cancel buttons, and no way to stop the app from running. This was very frusterating as I needed to turn off my laptop, but was afraid to leave the system in an inconsistent state.

A cancel button needs to be added to the distribution update.
