    No it isn't downloading 31Gb, it is applying the patch to your files when it says that. The info on your launcher should say "Applying Patch", which means it isn't currently downloading anything.

    The patch is just over 3Gb.

    oh ok cool then another question on that basis, each phase of the download does it "Apply the patch" or does it download the whole file and then fully "Apply the patch"?

    and thanks alot for the help much appreciated :)

    Usually the download is split into several parts - the main part is the first part, which is applying for you now. Then I think there is another small 50Mb download which then applies, and after that about a 250Mb download which then applies - those last 2 downloading/applying stages are really short though in comparison to the first part of the download. It took me an hour to get to 30% of the progress bar, then about 10 minutes to go from 30% to 100%
