Earlier today, Bungie's website, Bungie.net was experiencing issues, but those have apparently been resolved and the studio has moved onto the next problem – Destiny players are having trouble downloading the 2.0 update.
Unfortunately, all Bungie is offering at the moment is a request to be patient.

Our Take
Both editors Matt Miller and Brian Shea are having trouble getting Destiny update 2.0 downloaded, despite having started the process early this morning. Shea says that pausing and unpausing seems to help, but otherwise hasn't been able to do much other than stare at a stationary progress bar impatiently.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
