Why the software update is so time-consuming?

Why the estimate time in software update is misleading? I waited for at least 10 mins for the update when the phone said that it is about 2 seconds remaining? Probably I should never trust the estimated time.

That makes sense, maybe because the upload jam. Thanks for all your reply. The upload is done and it takes me fewer than one hour. Next time I should definitely choose a not in a hurry time.

What are you uploading? If you're uploading something large at the same time that you're trying to download a software update, that might cause issues.
