Always do 'pacman -Sw' - it only downloads packages into cache. If you 
interrupt, you always can continue later. After this, you can do 'pacman -S' 
and install packages from cache.

If you kill pacman after download, in process of installation - consequences 
may be any. For example, if 'pacman -Su' decided to replace 'j2re' 
with 'jre', deleted 'j2re' and you kill it, it will not install 'jre' 
automatically after second 'pacman -Su'. Another example - it can leave you 
files corrupted, and if you extremelly unlusky, you hang up and cannot boot 
after reset.
