man I wish I knew where my old one was since this WiiU update is taking a lot longer than I thought.

How big is the update?

882 MB.

How the hell is the update so small, yet it took so long for everyone to download? Were Nintendo's servers just super slow today due to all the people accessing the download? If so, it'll suck downloading new updates every time they're released. =/

My internet speed is roughly 35Mbps, and actual download speeds (from Steam) are around 3.5MBps. It shouldn't have taken me longer than 5 minutes, yet it took about 40 minutes...

I assume it was mainly the servers being overloaded by everyone trying to update at the same time.  Future patches will probably download a lot faster than launch day 1 patch due to people downloading it at a more spread out time.  It took me about 45 mins to download and install mine if I had to guess.  I only have a 20 Mbps connection.
