Hi there!

Thank you for reporting bugs and trying to make TestDrive better!

In fact the download of ISO is not cancelled. However, whenever the preferences are changed, TestDrive needs to re-generate the UI and obtain the new values, which actually changes everything.

However, there is indeed a bug when preferences are not changed and the "Save" button is clicked, then it will regenerate everything when it shouldn't. I have already fixed this and will continue to do testing before actually releasing a fix.

thanks again!
