Not sure what you are downloading then.
But you might accidentally click download later.
Which requires you to put it in sleep mode to download.

Maybe wrong version? X and Y update are seperate right.

You will be prompt that there is a new update when opening eshop.

While Sharpedo can be tough to counter before you know its set, there are a few Pokemon that can take it on no matter what set it's using. Porygon2 is one of the best all-around counters to Sharpedo that there is, as it is ridiculously bulky both physically and specially, has access to Recover, and can OHKO Sharpedo with either Thunderbolt or Discharge. Bulky Water-types such as Suicune, Milotic, and Blastoise are in a similar boat, as they all resist Sharpedo's Water-type attacks and don't take much from either Crunch or Dark Pulse. Milotic is the most dependable option here, as it has reliable recovery and can potentially burn Sharpedo with Scald or just stall it out with Recover while Sharpedo falls to Life Orb recoil. Suicune can set up Calm Mind boosts on Sharpedo while using Rest to heal semi-reliably, and more defensive versions can also wear it down with Scald. Blastoise can use Toxic to put Sharpedo in its place, although it can be worn down easily due to its lack of recovery. Snorlax is a good check to both sets as well; it hard counters the special set while only fearing Waterfall flinches from the physical set, can heal semi-reliably with RestTalk, and 2HKOes Sharpedo with Body Slam if it doesn't paralyze Sharpedo first. If all else fails, Life Orb Arcanine's ExtremeSpeed does a minimum of 80% to Sharpedo, which is enough to faint it after a turn of Life Orb recoil and Stealth Rock damage.

The physical set is best checked by bulky Grass- and Flying-types that can take a Crunch and hit back. Shaymin is one of Sharpedo's best Grass-type checks, especially if Sharpedo lacks Ice Beam, as it can take Crunch with ease and OHKO in return with Seed Flare. Togekiss is another strong check to Sharpedo that lack Ice Beam, and can paralyze it after first taking a hit. It can then stall out Life Orb recoil by using Roost or paralyze Sharpedo and use Serene Grace Air Slash flinches to greatly hamper it from even getting an attack off. Whether or not it is physically defensive, Zapdos too can take one of Sharpedo's physical STAB moves and KO with Thunderbolt. Defensive Hitmontop is the best direct counter to physically attacking Sharpedo though, as it can reduce Sharpedo's damage output with Intimidate and OHKO it with Close Combat. Even if it's weakened, Hitmontop can still do a number with STAB Mach Punch before it dies.

Umbreon is one of the best counters to the special set, as it can take any of Sharpedo's attacks with ease and stall it out with Wish and Protect, or use Toxic to cripple it tremendously. Swampert is also a pretty good check, as it can take a hit and hit back with Earthquake, although it can be 2HKOed by Hydro Pump. Kingdra 4x resists Hydro Pump and can take a Dark Pulse before OHKOing with Draco Meteor. Escavalier can take on the special set as well, for it is only 2HKOed by Hydro Pump and can KO with Megahorn in return. Specially defensive Escavalier can sometimes avoid even the 2HKO from Hydro Pump while still KOing with Megahorn. Bulk Up Scrafty is also a solid check to specially based Sharpedo, because maximum investment in Special Defense enables it to always avoid the 2HKO from Hydro Pump without hazards on the field; it can then OHKO Sharpedo with Drain Punch while recovering most of the health lost. Dragon Dance variants aren't bad checks either, but they must be careful when using Hi Jump Kick because there is always the threat of Protect.


QUOTE
Offensive Pokemon that can deal with Sharpedo fall under two major subdivisions. The first of which involves offensive threats that can take Sharpedo out with priority attacks. Because of Sharpedo's pathetic defenses, even resisted priority moves do a number on it. For example, Choice Band Scizor can get a clean 2HKO on Sharpedo with Bullet Punch. There is, however, a more competent priority user that can take out Sharpedo: Breloom. Breloom has the distinction of resisting Sharpedo's STABS and also has the capability to outright OHKO it with a powerful Technician-boosted STAB Mach Punch. Be careful when switching Breloom into Sharpedo though, as it is quite frail and will be OHKOed by both Ice Beam and Zen Headbutt. Other Mach Punch users include Conkeldurr and Infernape, though neither of them want to switch in on Sharpedo's Water-type STABs or a Zen Headbutt. The final two priority users worth mentioning are Dragonite and Lucario. Both of them posses a powerful ExtremeSpeed capable of OHKOing Sharpedo from the get-go after Stealth Rock.

The second offensive subdivision involves Pokemon that can take a hit and OHKO back. The most prominent ones that comes to mind are Keldeo and Toxicroak. Both of them resist Sharpedo's STABs and get a clean OHKO with their respective Fighting-type moves; however, both must be wary of Zen Headbutt. Kyurem-B, Rotom-W, Hydreigon, Gyarados, and Politoed can all take a hit and OHKO back. Chlorophyll users can also check Sharpedo too. Shiftry and Venusaur in particular always outspeed Sharpedo at +1 and OHKO with their STABs, although of course neither of them will enjoy taking an Ice Beam. In general, Pokemon that Sharpedo cannot outright OHKO are major headaches.

In terms of defensive counters, Ferrothorn stands out among the crowd. Not only can Ferrothorn take nearly every attack Sharpedo can throw at it, but Ferrothorn can even turn it into setup bait. While not as common, Empoleon can easily tank Sharpedo's conventional attacks and OHKO back as well. There are also an incredibly vast amount of defensive checks that can beat Sharpedo if it lacks a certain coverage move. If it lacks Ice Beam, Tangrowth and bulky Dragonite are both solid answers. When lacking Zen Headbutt and Earthquake, Tentacruel and bulky Toxicroak are good counters.

Sharpedo must also be wary of switching in, as just about any neutral, or even resisted, attack deals massive damage to it. Any form of passive damage, including sandstorm, hail, and entry hazards, also severely limits Sharpedo's presence on the battlefield, cutting short its already-brief lifespan. With Life Orb recoil added in, using prediction and switching in resistances will take out Sharpedo eventually. A final note is that sun severely diminishes Sharpedo's attacking power by weakening its Water-type STABs. With the sun, Pokemon with at least moderate bulk that are resistant to Sharpedo's Dark-type STABs can check it; Forretress and Scizor are decent checks under these conditions.

I see.. Then there might be a problem there.
Server might be flooded with people who wants to download it causing this problem.
Best to just try and shut it down as suggested?
