Q: Cannot pause an iTunes movie download

If I understand correctly you had a movie downloading and anything else that used Wi-Fi wasn't able to access the internet, and you were also unable to pause the download. That seems like unexpected behaviour to me, so I would start by quitting all the running apps on the iPad:
1. Press the Home button two times quickly. You'll see small previews of your recently used apps.
2. Swipe left to find the app you want to close.
3. Swipe up on the app's preview to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If that doesn't resolve the issue in the future, the only other thing that I can think of is that perhaps the networks settings on the device may need to be reset:
Still can’t connect?
Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.
From: If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I solved the problem by going into the store and locating each of the offending Shows (not in the download queue, and not in my library - in the actual store listings) and there you can hit the little circle progress bar to stop the download. It not only stops the download - but it deletes the item from the download queue entirely.
Very annoying problem.
