Purchased Cataclysm but no DL?

I purchased cataclysm on Oct 30 and it said in the order confirmation email:

Q u o t e:
The next time you log into World of Warcraft, your account will be flagged to begin downloading Cataclysm game data when it becomes available

i've checked my account and it shows wow: cataclysm so the upgrade went through, but I haven't gotten anything out of the launcher, it just tells me I can play now. No new stuff to download. I've been logging in everyday, and still no new game data.

Does this mean my account hasn't been flagged to download the game data?
If it hasn't, is there a queue for flagging I'll have to wait for? If it has been flagged, why isn't it showing on the launcher?

Your account is upgraded, Andaina, but most clients should be fairly up to date. I believe there is a small download that should start once you log in and back out of the game. If this has not downloaded or you otherwise are not receiving updates through the downloader I'd recommend visiting our Technical Support forum.

Q u o t e:
Is there anyway to check to make sure we are all set. I just purchased the Digital Upgrade, logged in/out and started my launcher and there was a small update. however shouldn't there be a larger content update for the cata content or was that downloaded with the last big patch?

Thanks!

Not really, Caillech, remember that Cataclysm mostly consists the changes made to old Azeroth. Everyone receives that content, not just those who upgrade to the expansion. The expansion will allow you to raise the level cap on your characters to 85 and have access to the two new races, otherwise, everyone should have the same client version.
