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...

The combination of Nintendo not anticipating so many midnight downloads coupled with what seemed to be server throttling produced some very slow connections.

Won't be an issue going forward.  You could say the US midnight launch was a beta test for the rest of the world.
