On one of those occasions where Billy wouldn’t let you be while downloading a movie and by mistake, you downloaded something entirely different from what you wanted and you are like, Heck! No! this isn’t the movie I intend to download, what do I do now? let me say, It never was her intention anyway, she only needed some more attention so, go easy on the poor soul.

So, you are stuck on how to stop a download? Well, it is so easy. Simply tap “download” to remove or stop a download in progress.

Hope you enjoyed the ride? There you go, apparently, you did as you’re unconsciously nodding in affirmation.

Looking forward to riding with you again.
