OS Update: Ask before recommencing download

I just lost over 400 Mbof my mobile internet volume because the update wizard restarted the download (of 3.2.0) in the last quarter of the download process.
(As a side note I was a bit upset about the update being 480Mb instead of 'about 380Mb' as noted in the announcement).
There was no warning or indication whatsoever. Neither can I cancel the download to postpone to a later time when I might get access to a WLAN.

I'm abroad on a network limited to 3G. Usually it's stable but there are occasional decreases im signal strength.

I would have thought that Sailfish OS is capable to resume the download of an update when the connection should be interrupted.
Isn't updating basically dowloading a number of RPM packages? Why won't the already downloaded ones be cached?
