How to stop those mods from downloading when connecting to a server in Call of Duty 4?

Question

When we try to connect to a server in Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, we sometimes start downloading mods. These can take a lot of time if the mods are bulky. I would rather connect to a different server than wait for these mods to download. How can I stop those mods from downloading and return to the console again? No keys seem to work: esc, contrl+Q etc.

Only thing that seems to work is end process of the game and then start it again. Once when I did this it messed up my settings so the next time the game wouldn't start. Is there an easy way to stop trying to stop mods from downloading so you can then connect to a different server?

Answer

Enable console. Whenever you want to abort a connection, open up console by pressing the tilde (`) key, (left to 1 on the keyboard) and type:

/disconnect

Remember to include the backslash. It'll immediately terminate the connection, no matter where you are.
