Newcomer / Intro Download time

Is anyone else having trouble downloading the game? I'm about 1/4 through the download but it's been going on for almost 3 hours, is this normal?

Normal as in many people are experiencing this problem? Yes.

Normal as in should so many people be experiencing this problem? No.

However even when I did full installs on Gamma it still took 4 to 5 hours to finish fully downloading, so I don't even think it's going to have anything to do with server load on day 1.
 
I can understand there being a certain amount of server lag today with the much higher than average downloading going on but sure FDev must have been aware of the numbers of people who would be doing this today if only through the number of preorders they have taken.

Been going for 5 1/2 hours now and it looks like about 75% done. Hopefully I will get it done today, after all that is why I pre-ordered.
 
Same here I'm 80% downloaded and it's not moving! Oh well time to put my years of Zen Buddhism training to good use and start smashing things with my bare hands!
 
Well 8 hours in now and the download is half way, I think I'm going to just leave it downloading overnight.
