Stopping a snapshot

We do nightly snapshots to S3. They normally take ~2hrs. I have one that
has been running for 4 days now.
I've tried to stop it with this command:
time curl -XDELETE -s
localhost:9200/_snapshot/sim-s3-backup/sim-autobackup_2015-05-15/?pretty

However, even that command hangs. So I let it run for a while, here's the
full output:
time curl -XDELETE -s
localhost:9200/_snapshot/sim-s3-backup/sim-autobackup_2015-05-15/?pretty
^C

real 1544m19.284s
user 0m0.508s
sys 0m2.580s

Is there any other way to get this snapshot to stop? For reference, this is
the output of the status:
curl -XGET -s
localhost:9200/_snapshot/sim-s3-backup/sim-autobackup_2015-05-15/?pretty

{
"snapshots" : [ {
"snapshot" : "sim-autobackup_2015-05-15",
"indices" : [ "7199", "7399", "7299", "7499", "7599", "6202085",
"6202082", "6202083", "8099", "6202059", "6202055", "5099", "5299", "5199",
"6202076", "6202075", "6202078", "6202077", "6202079", "5899", "6202071",

"3002", "3008", "3007", "3006", "3005", "5999", "6202044", "6202018",
"6202013", "10109", "10009", "6099", "70005", "6201266", "6199", "6299",
"10309", "10409", "10609", "10509", "7099", "6799", "6899", "40054",
"40057", "40055", "40056", "6202068", "6202067", "6202060", "6699" ],
"state" : "IN_PROGRESS",
"start_time" : "2015-05-16T09:30:06.303Z",
"start_time_in_millis" : 1431768606303,
"failures" : [ ],
"shards" : {
"total" : 0,
"failed" : 0,
"successful" : 0
}
} ]
}

I just want to stop it somehow. I can then delete it or re-run a new
snapshot and get today's date on it.

For anyone in googleland with the same problem, I 'solved' it by restarting
each node one-by-one. No downtime and eventually the snapshot failed.
