Xbox One - Stuck on "Transferring Game Content" - Possible Solution Here

So if you're like me you started the download for the latest 1.1.2 update, you walked away for awhile and came back and the download was frozen. To solve that you did what anyone who's ever used a Windows PC does - you turned if off and turned it back on. Then the download started to work again. Hooray! Soon the Destiny tile on your Xbox One start screen said "ready" and you quickly tried to launch the game (obviously to go to the Tower for a game of kick ball with our new purple ball of goodness). And here's where you hit a snag. Your game said ready, but now your screen reads "Transferring Game Content" and it's stuck on some random percent (like 85% or 84%) and you never see this percent actually change. Here's the solution - WAIT. That's it. WAIT. What happened is your Xbox One is a dumb machine. It's really dumb. At some point in the update it got confused, thought it was ready to party, but really it needed more time to download the update. You can check your traffic log (if you know how to access that information on your home network) and see that you Xbox One is still merrily downloading as fast as the Microsoft data servers will let you (in my instance that's around 4MB/s - you might be faster or slower - consider it Microsoft RNG). As a double bonus (if you're like me on Comcast Xfinity) it appears that the MS update server has a full disconnect approximately every 90 seconds. Yes, every 90 seconds my transfer rate drops to 0 (for the Xbox - nothing else is affected - thanks Microsoft!) tl;dr - Stuck on Transferring Game Content? Solution, just wait it out - you're still downloading the patch (or at least downloading [i]something[/i]).
