The wiki already mentions this:

“Sometimes, ifdown doesn't work, in that case use ifconfig eth0 down.”

Normally ifdown eth0 should just work though, but you have to run that before
modifying /etc/network/interfaces.

If you can still reproduce this problem, then it would be nice to have the
output of "ip addr show; ip route show" before and after each ifup/ifdown
command you give, so we can see where exactly the problem happens. Also, run
ifup and ifdown with the -v option so all commands that are executed are
shown.
