Well I sure love eating crow. I have in fact hit control-c in the case where a slow mirror (like, dial-up modem slow) was even delaying the database update. 10 minutes later, still no idea if there were any applicable updates available. But control-c during that initial database updating for me has always been instant kill and drop to a prompt. Retrying, nothing is inconsistent, and I'm connected to a much faster mirror 100% of the time. So at least that instance of control-c appears to work.
