downloading ios 7.0.3 ota paused

i have an iphone 4 running ios 6.1.3

i connected the phone to the charger and i turned on wifi and to my surprise ios 7.0.3 started downloading automatically ota without me asking. anyhow, i had to leave, so i disconnected the phone and teh download was paused. i have 2 questions:

- if i reconnect again and the new ios continues to download is this a problem? would that corrupt it?

- if i do not wish to install the ios after it downloads, will i be asked first to agree to install or is it going to install automatically like it downloaded automatically?

Shouldn't be a problem, & it will automatically pick-up where it left off.

It will not install automatically, but will bug you until you do. Will also take up 3.1GB's of space.

THANK GOD! it did not install automatically. after it was done, now i have the "install now" icon

as for teh space it eats, i don't really care. i had 10.5 GB free. now i am down to 8.5 GB free.

so i am fine with the current situation. i wonder how it will bugg me though to install it! so far all seems normal, i even synced through itunes like i normally do and it went ok 🙂
