It would be nice if an installer could be paused, in case the download is using network bandwidth (or the primary install is using disk bandwidth) that the user has an immediate need for elsewhere.

This could be done largely with a "pause" button in the progress UI's page that loops and pumps the event queue without returning until resumed, but some extra help might be needed for the stupid network thread, which won't really pause until the ring buffer fills.
