Many thanks, kind chap or chapette; 'tis greatly appreciated!
Funny, came back from lunch - had to restart App Store app - 826MB to download, says I should get it all in 2 mins. And we're past the 26x MB mark where it got stuck last time! Success!

Well see we have to download this version, test it, make sure it doesn't break or breaks other things in the OS so that we can safely deploy it on enterprise, schools etc, so that idiots like yourself can use it without throwing a tantrum fit as to why your computer doesnt work after you patched.
What are you doing to use up 100GB in one month? Wholly molly!
Updated.
Finder is still ****. Still can't load thumbnails for very large TIFFs on a 12 core Mac Pro.
Still can't remove favourites from the sidebar unless I force quit the Finder first.
Finder still can't handle multiple large FTP transfers without crashing.

I don't know what that patch is and if you need to install it before. I never did it with other delta updates only the Firmware Update, but in most cases it does also not do anything.
826 MB for me but noticed an iTunes update of 110 MB was included. So 716MB just for the OSX update. This was for my Mac mini.
Just noticed a little more apple rot. Going back into updates in the app store, it shows I have installed itunes 12.4.2 twice, and nothing about OSX being installed. But about this mac does show 10.11.6 is installed.

El Cap to me is the most stable version of OS X we've had. I never understand this idea that Snow Leopard was some monolith of stability; I had to deal with endless Spotlight indexing freakouts.
First time having issues.... can anyone corroborate?
Installation of 10.11.6 went fine... machine booted back up ... " > About This Mac" still shows "10.11.5".
[doublepost=1468871877][/doublepost]
Same here (except not over beta); not showing as installed, and my installed version is still showing as 10.11.5. First time ever having problems installing an Mac OS update in 20 years...
The Mac App Store app NEEDS to be redesigned.. Remove the Software Update feature from it already! What a joke that design is....

D/l'd in less than 1 min, said 14mins to install, really just a few (after 1 restart) & showing up as 10.11.6 in about this mac.
better to wait i can't trust this company anymore. #firefederighi
Check the MAS to get your update...or ,for those who like to update via the Combo Update and archive, it's located here: https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1885?locale=en_US
Updating all my Macs w/o any problems as this post time/date.

So despite Software Update saying that my computer was ready to reboot to install 10.11.6, it seems to have done that prematurely. A second restart later and 10.11.6 showed up in Software Update again, with 500MB of 716MB downloaded. No wonder it was using such high CPU. I was concerned!
We'll see how the second install goes.

The Combo is much larger. I posted the link before.
The Patch seems to be a Delta Update too but a little smaller than the actual one.
When you update through the App Store you sometimes also get different sizes on different Macs.
Well, could the 3rd time be the charm?
Upon rebooting to install the completed download of 10.11.6 (or so it said), the update "failed to verify"... first time seeing that one too! Now my disk space is too low. Fun times.

You'd understand if you were afflicted with the "distnoted" process bug, as many have been with El Cap. On both of our brand new iMacs, this process randomly freaks out and sucks up all of the processor cycles. It happens routinely and can usually only be recovered with a hard restart. I have never seen a more serious bug with any version of OS X, including the very early ones. Some said the problem went away when they installed a Sierra beta so I am hoping it has been tracked down and fixed and rolled into this update.
Of you could just download the update here and get the proper version and firmware update included:
