It's taking a long time to update to iOS 8. Is there a way to speed the process?

[iMore Question]

I have a iphone5 and i started downloading the new software update but it has been going now for an hour and the bar hasn't moved. I tried turning off my phone to reset it it but that hasn't done anything. When I turn my phone back on its in the same place. Is there a way to start to download over?

I just finished downloading iOS8 and it took longer than usual for an Apple iOS update (probably because it's the largest Apple update ever released). I just walked away from my 5s and let the update download. I'm HAPPY to report that after the update was complete and tested on my 5s everything is working flawless....SMILE.
Are you updating via iTunes or OTA. I did OTA
