This thread gives the reason for the 10GB patch issue.
After the closed beta access to everyone hiccup on Sunday, some people did an uninstall and then a new install. The install happens just fine with no errors, however most of the data is gone due to the previous uninstall action.
You see, it appears that the installer moves files from the download directory to the install directory instead of copying them. So, when you uninstall, they go bye bye.
If you don't want your download files messed up when you install (i.e., you want to keep a copy in case you need to re-install later), make sure you copy the download directory before doing the install.
Hope this helps. I expect many many many players to have this issue come Tuesday morning, and they are likely to be a bit ticked.
Afterall, who opened up beta to everyone yesterday anyway?

had the correct .0 or whatever from D2D after uninstalling and reinstalling after yesterdays fiasco
You should be fine, thats the same size as my game folder. The .01GB is just the setup.exe.
Hmm, how did my post get above yours?.. hax.
what size is it supposed to be?
I currently have the game launched and am sitting at the login in screen (the one with the music) so the game appears to be working.
Edit: Oh and when I attempt to login, I get a screen (planet in the background and such) that has the version number of "ST.0.20100108a.0"
If Cryptic can confirm that is the correct version number and that's the same number you see...does it matter how big or small the patch was?
