Bethesda Launcher Stalled During Download of Update December 1, 2018

On this occasion, after I downloaded the file
So I suppose that this is progress -- insofar as I did not have to download another patch file which the Launcher could not download. Maybe the next update to the Launcher will stop stalling while downloading files after the next maintenance patch -- if the Bethesda system software developers continue to work on it.
Hopefully that is more likely than whether the Dungeon Finder reliably finds and matches players and groups to dungeons. IMHO, the Dungeon Finder fails are inherent to the design of the megaserver system. It seems that no one has discovered a reliable algorithim to create such matches because, on the face of it, the megaserver system makes a matching process inherently far more complex than matching players who always play on the same host server, as they do in World of Warcraft.
Simply put, there are many more circumstances under which the process can go wrong, so finding and remedying them will be a continual process for some time to come. Worse, any modification of the megaserver system can adversely affect the Dungeon Finder. So including it in the system management software development cycle is essential.

- I installed it to the temporary folder ...\Program Files (x86)\The Elder Scrolls\The Elder Scrolls Online\depot\patchdatabuild\
- Then, when I ran Bethesda Launcher it did not stall again while downloading the two remaining patch files.
