Btw, depending on the version you are upgrading from you will need more free space. The ghost partition is new for Catalina.
I experienced the same with the Mojave Security update tonight: the first 1,25 of the 1,55GB downloaded in seconds, then it slammed the brakes and the last 300mb took 10 minutes or so.
I am already waiting 2 hours, what is going on ... I had to do a clean install of Catalina as it wouldn't want me to update from Mojave either. Called Apple support and they also dint have a clue...

Same thing here. The download came to a screeching halt at the 1.18GB mark.
Unicode provides machine readable files which are simply parsed and referenced to the image file on the machine. Technically, programming, perhaps, but it's gotta be 20 lines of code max, and if all you are doing is adding the new image and replacing the reference files, it is quite literally 10 minutes of work, and MAYBE another 10 minutes of testing.
Is there some minuscule amount of Apple's resources required for this endeavor? Sure. But those resources are so tiny compared to the rest of what's happening that it is simply not worth mentioning as an explanation for why Apple isn't doing "other things".
An interesting tidbit about this whole emoji discussion in reference to Apple is the name of one of the two editors of the Unicode Technical Standard, #51. I'll leave that as an exercise for the reader.
Download was quick. Install is taking FOREVER. Please let this resolve my kernel panics. Please!!! I am getting 4+ a day where Mojave and Windows 10 have zero issues and put way more stress on the system with intense gaming and running several virtual machines/producing FCPX projects.
I actually downloaded that Mojave Security Update from here:
Download macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Supplemental Update - Apple Support
macOS Mojave 10.14.6 Supplemental Update is recommended for all users and improves the security of macOS.
Did it for both of my Macs, and the download went fine. The actual process of applying taht update does take some time, but at least that process does not depend upon the internet.

That's my beef too! Neither the update, nor the full installer for OS 10.15.1, is available.Unfortunately that did not work for me
It told me there were no updates available
Installed here, and I can finally open applications without waiting three days for the application to be verified. So, my biggest problem is fixed. Here's to hoping that other things work well. My primary machine will likely stay on Mojave for some time still before it gets an update.
Just out of curiosity, did you do an update from OS 10.15.0 to OS 10.15.1? I myself will want to do a full, clean, "virgin" installation of OS 10.15.1 (but still in testing for me).

Been a Mac user since 2012, never knew downloading the update from Apple’s website was possible 😅
Images of 16-inch MacBook Pro reportedly in macOS Catalina 10.15.1 beta 2 | AppleInsider
A reference to a "MacBook Pro 16,1" and images in the macOS Catalina 10.15.1 beta suggest that the long-rumored refresh and new size of the MacBook Pro is coming relatively soon.
"AppleInsider cannot verify the presence or authenticity of the images at this time. The image on the screen is from OS X dating back to over a decade ago."
Someone reported that 16 MBP icon is gone on 10.15.1 beta 3 on this forum.
Not the first time this happens either. I always like to update my laptop at work because of the fast connection but sometimes it backfires like today.
You’ll have to be a bit patient as Apple hasn’t finalized an emoji design to symbolize that.
I ended up deleting the ghost partition and it’s downloaded again. Restarted and seems to be installing ok now.
Will post update once and if it completes.
I will definitely be going the way of downloading the full installation file. But given that I just read Shirt Pocket software had issues with the third beta of SuperDuper! for Catalina compatibility, I'm in no rush.
