woo!......
....

and that was it? really quick...

 

[gogojira]

Going to update now so I can not play my Wii U later.

 

[Deku Tree]

My download time doubled the same time that this thread was created...

 

[MarkusRJR]

I go upstairs to turn on my Wii U for the first time since February or January to download the update and my Game Pad is literally coated in dust. The stupid edges of the resistive touch screen make it impossible to clean without a compressed air bottle. Fuck that. I hated it on the DS/3DS and it's much more of a problem since it it's covered by anything when not in use.

 

[trixx]

I've been at 7 minutes remaining for over 5 minutes now

 

[ASTROID2]

Yes! Finally hear.

 

[Van Owen]

ERROR CODE 108-0066

Only had 30min to go too...

 

[Sinnick]

5 minutes left. Looks like it will take 25 minutes to download if nothing changes.

That would be any item.

 

[krae_man]

Man I forgot how slow these menus are.

 

[PorygonVandal]

Yes! Finally hear.

What did you hear?

 

[sevenchaos]

woohoo! Technology wins. Texted people at home and forced them to turn on my Wii!

 

[optimiss]

I hope we can adjust overscan system-wide now.

 

[Subaru]

is there a changelog?

 

[Jigolo]

What did you hear?

lol

 

[kinggroin]

Done! Now to install.

 

[Dead Prince]

did it add game features?

 

[DDayton]

Yep, I appear to be stuck on the Checking for updates screen.

 

[KojiKnight]

is there a changelog?

Loading/switching apps is faster
Game and system updates will download and install in the background while you play
Can now transfer saves/files from one USB hard drive to another one.


Did I miss anything?

 

[A Human Becoming]

Must be an exciting console if an update can cause this reaction

More like caused by the OS speed being horrendous.

is there a changelog?

Loading times will be improved when switching between software or when returning to the Wii U menu.
The ability to copy and move data between USB drives will be added.
The Wii U will automatically install new software that you have downloaded in the background while playing a game.
Software updates will automatically be downloaded (even without starting the software).
You can immediately access Wii Mode while the Wii U is starting up if you hold the B button.
The Wii U will continue downloading and installing software even if the system is turned off.

 

[Bulbagarden]

Looks like I've got a 53 minute wait here in Australia. It downloaded the first part pretty rapidly though. I wonder how exactly they handle these downloads anyway. Seems like the kind of thing where a Torrent swarm would be appropriate.

EDIT: Huh, and now it's saying 28 minutes. I can only assume I'm getting good speeds because all the other Aussies are at work. ^^;;

 

[braves01]

1:10 to go...

 

[Andrefpvs]

Fuck. I'm at work. God damn it.

Ask your boss (if applicable) to leave early. He'll understand.

 

[Tokieda]

My ETA went from 15 mins to 1:45 within the last 10 minutes.

Spoiler

SHHHHHHH!!

Edit: Now down to 1:01. That wonderful 1:01.

Yes. Ice Climbers.

 

[Waylon Drums]

01:54 left to go. I'll have to upgrade my 75/35 connection, it's obviously too slow.

 

[Meelow]

Under 1 min!!!

 

[Chairhome]

lol.

starts threads for ps3 updates that "increase system stability" , laughs when thread is made for a major update.

 

[flatearthpandas]

now i can play no games faster

Oh spit!

 

[DDayton]

System wide screen size setting.

Folks should be happy.

I STILL can't get past Checking for Updates...

 

[Azure Dream]

Awesome, they've switched from a bunch of different screen size settings to a single unified setting. I hope future software takes advantage of that, too.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Mine crapped out with two minutes left.

 

[RussellXV]

It's actually out. About time! Better live up to the hype.

 

[BassForever]

Says it's gonna take 40 minutes

Yay....

 

[Meelow]

It's updating now!

 

[SteveWinwood]

Pretty sure I have to delete some stuff to make room for this.

Thanks a lot for the fridge ninty.

 

[ToastyBanana]

I was wondering what this was. I booted the console up to check out Nano Assault but it made me update. 3 fake Wii U minutes remaining.

 

[trixx]

Done! Now it says updating

 

[Dead Prince]

Pretty sure I have to delete some stuff to make room for this.

Thanks a lot for the fridge ninty.

Wii U Premium laughs at you.

 

[JCX]

14 minutes left.

 

[Thorakai]

Wii U saved!

 

[Daingurse]

Oooo, what chu you guys got?

Spoiler

Not sarcasm. What's up?

 

[qq more]

now i can play no games faster

LOL

 

[zroid]

Installing now :U

 

[Eyothrie]

Download completed! YES! Oh wait, whats this? Its gotta install now.. :/

 

[Vashetti]

ERROR CODE 108-0066

 

[Jaded Alyx]

I thought this thing was supposed to be automatic?

 

[MarkusRJR]

Downloading so slowly...

That would be any item.

Any item with a resistive screen you mean. I live in 2013 so the only thing that has some resistive screen uncovered is the Wii U. Capacitive screens have no weird edges to pick up and trap dust like resistive ones.

Not likely, but Akamai would be appropriate. Anyone tcpdumping this? Wireshark even?
