You download the patch exe files, and save them somwhere ... as you are going to run them with the internet turned off, and with antivirus and firewall temporarily disabled.
I was told: Clear out the Temp folder on your computer. When you are ready to install the patch, disconnect your internet connection and shut down all programs (including anti-virus and similar). Now run the patch. We recommend that you leave the patch to install overnight, and that you do not use the computer whilst the patch is being installed. You may also want to try installing the patch under Safe Mode in Windows.
Some patches take in excess of 8-12 hours (or more), best done while you are sleeping

The reason that takes so long is that it's got ~1.8GB worth of patch data to process. Just leave it until it completes.

Yes, the reason it takes so long is, the patch has lots of JA files, which need to be decompressed from the patch install file as well from the existing JA files on your PC (to add the new decompressed JA files to these) while installing and then re-compressing these JA files again on your PC after they are installed.
Jes, I know, a pain in the proverbial but if patching is left alone, even after using a long time to do its thing, it should be OK .......eventually.
Most of the time, unless the threaded warning comes up after installing for a long time:
"Can not continue with patch/upgrade" or whatever.

I would love the links to the Digital install that's already at 61388
I re-downloaded after some time away from trains and have been doing patches for 3 days (Mainly due to limited time because of work, But unfortunately I tried using the auto patch and each time it failed, so downloaded manually and so far I have been chewing my lip at the Patching from 49922 to 57720... sign for the last 2 hours 
.. But after reading your comment I had a brain wave.. am I incorrect that using the links that were provided by email 1or2+years ago (I think) is wrong and there is a new area for downloading the pre patched up to date version?I downloaded from the auran site but the version I got was at 474520.. Please provide the link to the latest if you have it please
cheers

The build 61388 digital version of TS12 is only available if you bought from Simulator Central. If you bought it from elsewhere or from N3V's old shop you will not have that facility.

ahhh, I was just about to ask that question when I noticed that I had to look at a legacy order on planet Auran and then when I clicked shop to see it went to Simulator central, oh well it was worth a shot, But it would be nice to be able to get an up to date file from Auran or N3V or who ever owns it
for future, in case of comp break down ect.. to save me going through the long process of updatingCheers for the quick response tho
