Hi,

We're using NSURLSessionDownloadTask to download in background, we've noticed that in case we cancel the tasks we still get successful completion notifications (instead of cancelled) and when capturing network traffic we see download continues.
How can we totally stop the downloading in case we need to?
Thanks in advance

If you (temporarily) switch your downloads to use a standard session, do you still see the same problem?

I too have the same problem. I called cancel when the app terminated, but when I re-run the app, the download is still in progress.
