Just thought of one more thing....

I'm not sure if Ubuntu is different, but I use Linux Mint, and it doesn't
make you download anything.  It will alert you when patches and security
fixes are available, but it won't download them until you tell it to.  You
could just ignore it until you have the time to update?
