are you using wifi?? if you are you should try using your Ethernet port at the back of your console it's much faster

Very funny. 

 

The initial download took me around 45 minutes as well, but I was at my friend's house when i did it and his internet is much slower than mine. I just checked my DL speeds through Steam and I appear to be downloading just as fast as ever, yet Nintendo speeds are extremely slow. Oh well, NSMBU just finished so the crisis is over for now. 

I hope this throttling (if that's what it is) stops soon. 

Maybe their servers are overloaded with all the people trying to download the patch and all the new games since it's a console launch or maybe this will the speed you will get through the gen, for exemple, it took me 2hours to download the pirated version of starcraft 2 on the piratebay yet it took  6hours for the legit version using blizzard servers and they were roughly the same size
