Re: Why is the game taking so long to download?

Okay, some of the download times here are insane. I have Satellite internet and, even there it isn't that bad. The first thing to do is reset your connection, power cycle the modem and, reboot the computer as follows.

  1. Power-down the computer.
  2. Power-down the router (unplug it).
  3. Power-down the modem (unplug it).
  4. If you have an Ethernet cable connecting your computer to the modem, disconnect it. Wait a moment, then plug it back in.
  5. Make sure the Ethernet cable from the router is plugged securely into the back of the modem.  *Note: Wireless routers do not require a cable connection to the computers they support.
  6. Plug in the modem. Wait until all LED lights on the modem are properly lit - 1 to 5 minutes depending on your modem.
  7. Power-up the router and wait for it to be fully cycled up.
  8. Power up your computer.

Now right click Origin and choose RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. Try the download again.
