That is odd, I got notification at 19.00 CET on the dot that the game was ready for download and had no issues downloading it. 

Did you check your internet connection? :o)
I did do a logout-login maneuver right before so that might be worth a try. 

@LedTrgrFingrthe files appears to be downloading from Akamai CDS so it may be issues with "your" local Akamai server.

So I uninstalled my pre-load and preloaded it again and the files are downloading from

a104-121-236-158.deploy.static.akamaitechnologies.com

but I think that, before the download starts, it contacts a bootstrap server that gives the client a list of possible download servers such as the one above.

No issues here either. The download took about 7 and a half minutes.

This is what i'm getting.  If you notice the bottom right corner, I have internet access.

@LedTrgrFingrTry to
1. ping api1.origin.com and see if you get a response.
2. ping origin-a.akamaihd.net

Also, can you tell me at what point the download fails?

Is it immediately after you click the download button, or after you have selected install directory etc.?

I also have the same problem of downloading

I don't know if I did it right

@LedTrgrFingr@T4kumi10  BTW. don't forget to report the error so EA get a chance to work on it if you cant solve it yourself.

yes I send the error to ea when it asks me

So uninstalled my pre-load and started it yet again and below is the initial communication between Origin Client and the servers:

in the Host column, you can see the server names - but please note that for a CDN like Akamai the hostnames will resolve to different server depending on your geographic location (thus Content Delivery Network - CDN), after row 37, it is just downloading data and it flows like that for 47GB
