Disable automatic updates and set it to alert you only so you can download manually from the Microsoft website! I agree 4 hours is to long for a cable connection, I would just shut the computer down if you can't cancel it.

All you have to do is right click on the yellow shield with your mouse. (Sometimes you have to click more then once for the yellow shield to open).
Microsoft does not tell you what they are downloading, but you can cancel and let it download overnight. Or some other time.
