Some users have reported that the patch required to download after client has been downloaded was only 183 MB.... I have downloaded over 400 MB with no end in sight..... How big is the Patch for the client, as its not indicated on the client?

    It depends on when you installed the original client. The patching is an automatic process and downloads and replaces any files that need updating. The patch might be 100-some MB, but if you are for some reason missing a file or have an earlier version of a file that never got patched, your patch would be larger.

    May be since it's dated 2010. The ZIP is a one-time installer, so make a copy before you use it.

    I just finished patching my original client copy from my desktop to my laptop and the patch was 10 GB so it could be quite large. it took 4 1/2 hours for me.

    Yup, 10GB should be the size of the latest client download when you're starting from scratch.
