If you want to disable even downloading of the update file to your Kindle, take a look at this.
fake_update.zip contains 10 MB file named FWUOupdate-10-553210206-558700031.bin.partdldtmp.partial. Put this file in the root of your user store. If your current firmware has different release number than 553210206, rename the file appropriately.

This 10 MB file with dummy contents will utterly confuse the downloader because the real update file size is about 7 MB. It won't be able to continue the download.
