December 15 Update

I've been having similar problems with this update. Either the download has reached 100% and no further action is processed (causing Origin to generate an error message) or the download goes at 70kb/s and conks out after five/ten minutes (note that this bandwidth issue is only with the update - I tried downloading the Sims through Origin to see if the problem was at my end but got a 1.4mb/s rate - the usual for my household). I've tried this maybe ten times now and still no dice.
