Patcher Starts second download after exiting game

When I have been exiting the game from the Holodeck server, it starts to download a 1.1gig file, then the launcher closes. anyone else with this issue????? P.S. The realtime patching is NOT disabled in the launcher.
I was just able to see what the patcher is doing, the file number of the patch ends in a.2, it downloads to 35kb, then the laucher closes.

    They do this every time there is a big build coming soon, that is a pre-patch for the F2P build, which is coming to holodeck this week. Just downloading some of the files to reduce the size of the patch when it does go live. Judging by the size of the file it downloaded for you, it probably already downloaded the full pre-patch and the 35kb is probably just a checksum to make sure you've got the files.

    I would accept that if it downloaded any files, it is not, launcher is CLOSING at 35kb, does not restart and does the same action every time I get out of the game. If it was prepatching, I would expect that it woudl download a hell of a lot more than 35kb every time ti tried.

    OK, for the few that have had this issue, this is how I fixed it. UNISTALLED and DELETED STO and directories. Downloaded the newest installer from the STO site. Reinstalled using the installer, logged in then off, launcer loaded and is not doing a FULL patch. This worked for me, unkown if it will work for others, but if you have tried all you can, then give it a go
