Hitting "Abort"-button within API request takes no effect.

Now that the OSM API is down for maintenance, data cannot be downloaded from the servers. So I tried to download a map section with JOSM just for fun.

JOSM then tries to contact the server 5 times and then aborts automatically. But it was not possible for me to abort these repeating requests manually by hitting the "Abort"-button in the small status window.

While uploading it does not abbort the upload, but does not process the answer. Means first, you won't notice when changes don't alterate the database.

And second, the IDs and versions won't be updated on local copy, and if you grab another part or try to upload anything else it response with error because of an conflict.

Replying to Buerste:

I have already filed a similar ticket on that, #6332.
