Youtube User Hackastic has made this handy guide which shows you how you can workaround the inability to pause downloads on the device and we’ve tested it out and it works 8 out 10 times. Only occasionally will the file become corrupted but you should be fine using it more often than not.

There should be an option to pause it instead of doing all that. Hopefully the new system update can answer to everything we missing.
Why people prefer so much doing it on video than on text (other than the ad revenue)?
Anyway, there we go:
(Basically you'll force your download to fail and restart manually only the one you want to resume)
You have multiple downloads happening.
1. Go to settings, network. Uncheck "connect to the internet".
2. Wait 2-3 minutes for downloads to fail.
3. Go to settings, network. Check "connect to the internet".
4. Go back to the notifications screen.
5. Select the download you want to do. Press X and "retry".
That's it. Only one download running.
Why would anyone WANT to pause a download on a PS4, anyway? I buy Killzone but before I can even play it "Oops, I better pause this thing. Wouldnt want that huge file draining my precious bandwidth. I'll finish it later." LOL
Whats next? Can we please get someone out there, to show me the next hilarious "workaround" they've discovered on the PS4? I've grown accustomed to seeing all this mundane BS, lately. LOL.
Just like morons who want an option to turn off the LED. I feel like I live in a world with stupid people. -_-
