Excellent idea. It saves wastage of bandwidth. Better to implement by including pause and resume buttons in synaptic/update manager.

That is the default behaviour and I don't think there is any option to change it. The current package being downloaded is in /var/cache/apt/archives/partial.

Second phase i.e., installation cant be paused because it will lead to inconsistent state. So would it be an idea to incorporate a stop restart interrupted mode in Synaptic ??
