I can confirm it did not work earlier in the day. I tired it a few times throughout the day.

The only thing clearing the cache did was allow us to see the update earlier, we needed the update to actually fix the problem
 
From the Bungie.net article:

Please note that it could take up to four hours for your console to receive this update based on various factors. However, the good news is that we're in the clear and Halo 3 gameplay is just over the horizon.
It could take a while to propagate through all the data centers.

I tested pausing the download and it said I could resume it from the Xbox Live Marketplace - is this true?

Yes, it works, but when I did it I found my download was going a lot slower after I resumed it. It was around 100kb/s and is now around 30kb/s (looking at traffic through my router).
 
21 percent after 20 minutes, at this rate it will be another hour and half. Finish right around 1AM like bungie said :lol

Well. That was an exciting night :lol

Big stuffup made up completely with one of the quickest turnarounds Ive yet seen. It shouldnt have happened, but the time for resolution was pretty impressive.

Good job MS. You even seem to have made the download speed the best ever on XBL!

Eh, I just brought the message.

Bungie brought the love.
Dude, you are Bungie now. Let it sink in.

Also, what would happen if I removed my storage device? Should I secure it with extra brackets to ensure it stays in place for the duration of the download?
 
Did the code, worked like a charm. Mine's not even going that slow. 5% in about a minute. At this rate I might get shot in the face a dozen times before i have to crash.
