Set permissions on the source folder so that the distribution fails immediately. It will make it go quicker.
Also look at your retry settings in Site Administration>Configure Site Components>Software Distribution. It will only stop once the dist. failures hit these thresholds. You can try turning these down from the default, I can't remember if the changes only take effect when distmgr is restarted but I have feeling they are instant. Someone will confirm that hopefully.

At this point I would like to stop distribution to this DP and use the ExtractContent utility to load the content through other means. I know from prior 2007 experience deleting the DP from the content in question is insufficient to stop the transmission. How can I force this job to cancel? Thanks in advance, Andrew
