XCode 4 - how to stop the download of documentation

Question

I accidentally started the documentation download within XCode (not the one I wanted - of course). Is there any way stopping this huge download?

Answer 1

In XCode Preferences / Downloads tab, you can select whether it automatically downloads components and documentation. You can also cancel the library downloads in flight. [XCode 4.2]

Answer 2

no . ( Edit : You can now (Xcode 7.2 - certainly earlier, but not in summer of 2011) easily cancel it in Preferences->Documentation )

you can delete it once it's downloaded: Preferences->Documentation-[select doc set] click ^ on the bottom,

it will tell you where it's stored,

that will keep you from searching through useless information when you're searching the Docs.

Answer 3

After disabling, you must restart xcode to stop the download
