The patch should only be about 220MB, but last week's patch was 2.3GB. Have you been away for a while, and not updated recently? Otherwise, maybe the launcher detected a corrupt file and had to redownload it.
Beyond that, the launcher will always verify at least 5GB, in the "Applying Patch" segment, but that's not downloading anything.

How are you determining how much was downloaded? Are you measuring consumed bandwidth?
It's just that if you are looking at the patcher, then what it reports as downloading and what it reports as applying are two different numbers.
I pay for bandwidth, so I'm following this topic very closely. A 3GB download is about 30 bucks for me.
