I prefer to control when the download happens.  This turns off the
automatic download:

   dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/updates/auto-download-updates false

The new option is positioned at the bottom of the menu, where the
shutdown option normally lives.  I prefer to avoid the possibility of
inadvertantly causing an update when I just meant to shut down:

   dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/updates/active false
