Mine says it has 5 minutes to go... I don't believe it because it said it had 30 seconds remaining about 50 minutes ago.

It has to extract the 500MB patch from the EXE, then Windows Installer checks the signature by loading it into a 500MB block of contiguous virtual addresses (swapping all the way - why on earth this isn't implemented by mapping the file into the address space, or just loading a relatively small buffer at a time, I don't know), then it finally gets to actually installing.

I think he was talking about the installation time. Not the download time. Certainly it took me almost 2 hours to intall it, but just shy of 15 minutes to download it.

startIt's a feature of the Windows Installer runtime, not the setup itself (done at least partly by our old mate Heath Stewart[^]). See for example Disabling the Patch Cache[^].
