When in Download Mode, you will see a triangle with an Android image in it and it says "Downloading..."
If you are stuck on the 'Downloading..." screen, you can just remove and re-insert the battery then power the phone back on.
If you are flashing firmware while in download mode, then you unplug it or remove the battery, your phone probably won't turn on any more.
