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.

- 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?

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

now i connected my phone to itunes and when it detected the new ios i clicked on "download only"

when it finished download on itunes and if i connect my phone to itues and i install teh software through itues, would there be any problem if the phone has a part of the downloaded ios on it already?

well, as soon as i re-connected to wifi, the ota download picked up. when it was down to "15 minutes remaining" it wrore "preparing update" i think it will go ahead and install automatically!!! i am monitoring it now. thats the first time an ios download itself and now maybe even install itself! will see what happens and report it!

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 🙂

now with 7.0.4 available, if it is pushed to download on the phone OTA when i connect to wifi, is it gonna replace the 7.0.3 or is it gonna occupy additional space?
