I always check for available downloads of the operating system for the iPhone. There was one, so I thought it wouldn't take that long. I was wrong. My guess it may have just been released and there was a number of people trying to download it. So I stopped trying to download it and tried again a few minutes ago, this time it worked. Was it a fluke in the software, or was it possibly too many people trying to download it at the same time?

16.1.1 was released on Wednesday so it's more likely this was just some temporary issue specific to your device or network.
