I, for one, am no longer bothered by this. I have dropped the ISP I was using when I began having a problem with this behavior. With my new ISP, my connection speed is fast enough so that this would no longer be a problem. Also, since first reporting this, I have also updated to (a) more recent

I now believe this is a known issue, although I do not have a reference. When there is an update, packagekitd may begin downloading the updates to save time.
