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.
Would placing this file in the root directory of the Kindle stop the Kindle from updating/downloading the file regardless of whether or not one has installed this "Disable Updating" BIN file? Thanks again
