    Use Windows Deafult Firewall and disable any third party firewall / OR alternatively you can go on and add

    origin.exe

    OriginClientService.exe

    EAProxyInstaller.exe

    igoproxy64.exe 

    files in Origin folder in allowed list in the firewall application. Then try preloading. Most probably its your firewall blocking EA download. You may laso try disabling your firewall altogether for a moment and check if it preloads.

    Hope that helps.

Disabling my HTTP Proxy firewall rule resolved my issue.

Intersting that this is the only piece of software that is having problems with this normal / security firewall rule.. what gives EA? Call me over protective, but i would rather have a secure network...but I want to play this game.

Just thought I would add some more details if it may apply to others.

I dont utlize a "Software" firewall, I use a hardware based firewall (Watchguard XTM23-W). I utlilze HTTP "Proxy" Firewall rules in order to use software based security services , such as AV, Content Filters, Spam...

These rules "pull apart" network packets and drops those packets which are flagged by the proxy settings or the services that I have running against the rule.

I dont have issues with any other software that I run with this rule, expect for today with this EA origin BF4 preload.

EA needs to evaluate why they need a "DMZ" to all us to download their games...
