it restarts because when your internet disconnects, the update file is not complete and therefore unable to used, resulting in a redownload

No kidding. There are very good reasons to pause a download that why there's a "pause" button.


To bad this button does not work properly. Even if you pause for a brief moment it will start all over again. I think the word " pause" in apple speak actually means stop. kinda like Starbucks and all there none english sizing silliness. I see complaints on this forum for past 6 years about this pause problem so obviously apples not going to fix this issue.


Ever.
