I bought mine on the eShop via my Switch as it didn't show up when I was looking on the website other than an advertisement for it.

When I was downloading I don't think it showed me the size of it however it took some time to download (5 mins)
Edit: I think I found out, ACNH and its saves are on my Switch's memory, I now have some data of ACNH on my SD Card
It looks like it's 565 MB

Hmm looks too small for the amount of new content they're putting out. Can you look on the eshop page to see the file size? You just need to go to the dlc's page and scroll down a bit, and you'll find the details.
Maybe they're just letting us download some part of the code, and we'll have to download the rest of the content when it drops.

Really? I thought it was going to be like a GB file size.

Yep it is 600MB, keep in mind tho this is just the file size of Happy Home Paradise, the 2.0 update will probably be larger

I think this means that there will probably be like a big update patch to get version 2.0

Yeah I think the 2.0 update will be larger and patch the Happy Home Paradise so we can get access

And it will be interesting to see what fixes they made to the game.

Thank you! Indeed, it looks like some of the content will become available only on Nov 5, probably a safety measure to prevent people from datamining or from unlocking the content earlier via other means.
And it just occurred to me that Nintendo has access to some very powerful magic, which they use to compress files like no other company does. Compare BotW and the Mega Man Legacy Collection 2, for example. BotW should be bigger, but they compressed it in a way that it's a lot smaller than it should. Meanwhile, MMLC2 is too big for Capcom to be able to pack it in the same cart as MMLC1, and having both games on the ps4, I can say they're not really that big, and if Capcom had access to the same compressing methods as Nintendo, they could have squeezed both games in one cart, instead of making the 2nd game only available as a download.

Datamining is still possible as 600MB is a lot (its bigger than most of the updates we have had, bigger than the Mario Update) however as you said they probably made it so that people can't properly access the DLC til Nov 5th
Finding items and stuff to unlock can still be datamined

No matter how hard Nintendo tries there will always be hackers trying get into the files. So be very cautious if you see anyone posting leaks.

I'm expecting leaks in a couple of hours or over the weekend, I know a Youtuber who hacked through the time locks and played events

Oh, I'm not even into leaks or anything. I only watched the direct once and then I saw a video on YT talking about the new villagers and that's it. I'm really wanting to discover most of the content by myself while playing the game, seeing as it's the final (major) update the game will receive, I'll try to enjoy what it has to offer without rushing.

Well most AC channels on YouTube tend to have this habit of talking about leaks. Switchforce for example is a YouTuber who tends to rely on rumors and he tends to use clickbait in his titles. Crossing Channel does cover it, but at least tries to tell everyone to take with a grain of salt. So yeah I too won't be surprised if they start posting videos covering the leaks. At least they should put a "Spoiler" warning in their video to warn people if they don't wanna be spoiled.
