PS4 Update stuck? (Destiny)

I got home from work and booted up Destiny. It went to the PS4 "Application Update" page, but it just said "Downloading update file..." with no other information at all. No percentages, no gigs, no timeline, nothing.

I checked the PS4 network tab and it had a signal. I rebooted Destiny and rebooted the PS4, still getting the same thing.

Did this happen to anyone else? Kind of lame...

Hopefully Bungie fixes this, but the way they do the updates for Destiny, the PS4 has to go through every bit of the existing update before it starts downloading the new one. Unless they change the 18 gig patch to count as content (or switch some things up on their side), it will always take about 20 minutes to "prepare" the new update.

Once it starts downloading, if it says it will take more than a few minutes, go to Network settings and "Test Internet Connection". That should bring the estimated download time to a few minutes.
