Ryu, you're not playing with dialup or DSL are you? What kind of internet connection are you using? I logged in 2 hours ago and I have 71 percent of the patch downloaded right now.
I'm slightly more concerned that they are going to take down the servers in 5 hours "in order to perform mainenance, and apply a patch." Really? They have to patch the update already?? I would have thought the Devs would be able to kill two birds with one stone, so to speak....

That's fairly common practice, a post update patch or three to squash bugs found after the update went live.
Man... people that are complaining about download speeds and how long its going to take really need to pony up some dough and get better internet. I pay around 60 dollars a month and i have 15meg download and 3meg uploads... this only took me a hour or so and i thank CRYPTIC for every second of it.!!

That is the life of software developers.
You guys need to understand that every time any minor change gets put in, there's a whole complicated process that needs to happen (build, testing, etc). There are several of these per DAY. When things are tested, bugs get categorized and when there are no bugs of a certain importance level left, that build gets flagged as the one that will be released.
From THAT point, it still can take several days or weeks of bureaucracy and additional testing before the new stuff gets out. At that point, the devs still work their TRIBBLE off to fix the rest of the small bugs that still exist in that load, and it gets released as a much smaller patch that doesn't need scrutiny.
So be thankful that you get that extra patch. It just means less bugs.

FYI that was a joke. in truth it is big because it is awesome. there is a lot of new stuff that would not fit in a small patch.
