I don't know how the PC downloads go, but downloading patches to PS3 or PS4 is atrociously slow when the patch servers are busy (or pretty slow even when they're not). A full-sized patch is likely to take significantly more than 4 1/2 hours to download. They really need to get the patch servers up far earlier than this.


EDIT:
Patch servers came up just before 2 am edt, four hours before end of maintenance.
Patch size: 717.25 MB on PS4 (not counting download of the launcher itself)
Download initially estimated at about 2 hours, but that's likely to double or triple as more people hit the patch servers and download speed slows down.


EDIT 2:
ok, about 45 minutes into the download now, and not only hasn't the estimated time increased dramatically like it usually does, but it's actually decreased a bit. Looks like the patch servers are holding up better than usual and there will in fact be time to finish downloading after all.
What speed internet you use? My PS4 did the update in like 12 minutes.
