No, you can disable IPv6 in the router and in the OS kernel, and some

That sounds like faulty applications, which could or should be fixed.
Vincent gave the example of wget, but I can't reproduce his problem; I
don't _think_ wget is faulty. In his case, I'd want to see his routing
table to confirm that IPv6 was not accidentally enabled and configured.
