I can't get KR to patch. It starts downloading and then just stops. Anyone else have this problem?

Yesterday i couldn't log either Ally. It would be at the "entering brit" stage and then it would just be black. I'm in now though no problems yet.

I still can't get KR to patch. Followed the usual instructions that come with every patch note. It downloads fine, but once it starts applying it just stops. I keep the task manager open now, after a few minutes it just stops responding and then I close it from there.

Anyone have any tips I could try to patch KR?

Mine patched last night with no problems, though it was a pretty big one.
