A. Deleting the virtual folder is useless. IIS already started the
file-to-HTTP transfer, so the virtual folder mapping is irrelevant. You will
find that you cannot delete the source file on the filesystem (it is in use,
after all).
B. IP Restriction applies for subsequent requests, not the current one. It
makes no sense for IIS to retroctively re-evaluate a request based on user
configuration, even if it is on going. Why? Well, suppose IIS did that and
you start a 1GB download. Midway through you restrict the IP, so you want
IIS to stop the download; suppose you toggle it back to allow -- should the
download continue again? How does that happen using HTTP protocol?
C. Stop or Pause the website causes IIS to disconnect all connections - thus
it will indirectly stop the download.
Unless you write custom code that monitors the download, such as an ISAPI
Filter or an ISAPI Extension that performs the download, you won't be able
to stop the "current download". IIS does not provide the feature by default,
though you can build it yourself.
