Hi folks at Bungie... each patch since TTK "checks" the full 18GB and downloads a big chunk of it too. There is no way to actually see how much is really downloaded... you just sit in front of your TV and stare at least 10 Minutes at a "preparing download" screen with a percentage freezed at 0% for ages before it magically jumps up a bit to finally reach the 100% mark to then switch to the 18.123 GB / 18.813 GB (nn Minutes left) screen which actually shows that data is getting downloaded (sloooowly). This then takes another 15-25 Minutes.
Please fix your Patch system... before TTK it worked without the need to download the full update in chunks over and over again.
And I'm far from being the only one out there with this problem (seems to be standard actually).
please fix!

Ya just got home from work. Same problem

I play almost everyday and just logged on I have a 75g connection and it says 7g of 18 over a -blam!-ing hour left!!! Wtf
-
Well, I've been sitting here for 10 minutes with the exact same thing happening to me, so I guess it's time to play some need for speed!

to all "quick readers" ... please read carefully before you reply... I haven't said that the patch is 18GB in size. It just needs a bunch of time to check these 18GB for whatever part(s) it actually has to download. The downloading then takes ages due to the constant checking and only downloading minimal parts of the whole thing. This has nothing to do with a bad internet connection nor with a full 18GB download. It's just the way/method of how the update is distributed which is not really that "perfect". Thanks anyway.

Not for me took 2 min for this patch. Wasnt 18GB.
-
That's your internet bud
-
Everytime an update hits the Noobs come out in force. It's not 18Gb for -blam!- sake.
-
It adds on to the existing patch.
-
Mine was only 700something MBs. Didn't take that long, so it sounds like a problem on your end.
-
No LOL it doesnt download 18gb.

If you are on PSN, there is quite literally nothing Bungie can do. It is how Sony deploys the update. The console compares what is currently installed on your console to what the new update contains and downloads the difference. Even though it says 18+ gb, it should start at 18 and download approximately 5-800mb
