For all those in the UAE suffering the dreaded update or download problems I found this has worked everytime.
1. Go to http://www.justfreevpn.com/
2. Setup the US or UK Free VPN.
3. Once set-up connect the VPN.
4. Start Origin and the update / intended download will start.
5. You will get a slow D/L speed (I get 30 - 60 kb/s), once it has started downloading I disconnect the free VPN and Origin continues downloading but maxes out my 1.6MB/s download 😕mileyvery-happy:
So far I have updated BF3 and Medal of Honor Warfighter with no probs and all the BF3 Premium Expansion packs this way.
*** Note, the password for these free VPN's change on a daily basis, a pain in the rear end I know but one you can live with as the updates etc are not that often.
Good luck and hope it works for anyone out there having this problem.
