Re: why are the download speeds extremely slow on origin?
Having the same problem while downloading Battlefield1 which restricts my download speed to about 4mb/s, while on steam i can easily get 30mb/s.
Can we add BF1 to steam? 😢 Origin is dogpiss

I've had this problem for ages, nothing would work, always downloading at 200 kb/s - 1 mb/s but on steam or anything else I download at 8mb/s +
Last night I made sure steam and any other sort of game client was closed. I then ran origin as admin, and now I'm finally getting 8mb/s downloads on the Origin client.
Might be worth a try to see if it helps you guys.
Tried disabling steam and other background programs over the last 5+ years and nothing worked. I have a 19-21 MB/s connection. Origin RARELY gets 4MB/s. Trust me, I've tried practically everything.
- This was the answer for me - make sure steam is closed, also in all the background processes (usually the bootstapper is still running even after closing steam). Instantly quadrupled my download speed.
