iOS 6 taking really long to install

[scorer]

It's been stuck at a third of the way finished for the past 45 minutes on my iPhone 4. Should I be worried?

It's probably been closer to a 1.5 hours. SHould I restart my phone somehow?

Taking too long to install or download? I downloaded it via iTunes and it took 10mins.

My mates was being downloaded OTA and he lost patience and cancelled the download. Took forever.

To install. I've already downloaded it and it restarted. Now it's installing with the black screen and has been stuck at the same point for really long.

Mine downloaded and installed (took like a hour) and then restarted after installing and has been on the apple logo with progress bar that hasn't moved for 20 mins now. Ipad 3 64gb. Starting to worry.

Mine is also stuck right at the last minute too, if it doesn't install within the next 10 minutes I'm going to leave it and finish it off another time.. I need to sleep

The final progress bar (after it installed and restarted) has not ever moved - its empty.

Is there a way to cancel the installation?

Make sure it's on a charger when you update... If your battery is below a certain percentage, it will only download the update and not start the install until the battery is above that percentage.

It's been on the charger for hours. Fully charged.

Could it be related to the load on Apple's servers? I think the install accesses Apple during the install, and this would be the time of day I'd expect their servers to be the slowest.

Is it possible to cancel and try to reinstall another time?

Ok it worked - after about 45 minutes it went straight to a screen with just the apple logo. Turned itself off twice (while on the charger). Then finally came up with the welcome to ios setup screen. And now seems ok.
