I stupidly gave permission for Windows 8 to upload error information about a recent bugcheck.
I am on a very slow DSL connection and the upload is totally monopolizing the pipe.
Over the past two days only 50 MB has been uploaded out of a reported dump size of 948 MB!
I MUST cancel this upload by any means necessary!
Can anyone think of something I can do to cancel this upload?
I already tried completely disabling Windows Error Reporting in the Action Center. Apparently that does not affect error reports that I've already given approval to.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Have you tried just forcing a reboot to see if you can stop it that way? ...or does it remember it on the next boot and start over again?

Hi, thanks for the suggestion.
Unfortunately, it just restarts the upload any time I connect to the internet, even after a reboot. But when you think about it, would you design it any other way? 
Thanks

Yeah, I'd place a "Cancel" button somewhere obvious.

Use "fiddler2" to find out the address of the server offering the download. Add it to your host-file.

Yes, good idea. Thanks for that insight.
