Click on the startbutton and type in the searchbar "msconfig"
Click on msconfig.exe
Select "Services"
Click on "Hide all Microsoft-services" (or something similar to this as I am translating this from the Dutch"Alle Microsoft-services verbergen")
Click on "switch off everything/all"
Select the tab startup
Click on "switch off everything/all"
Restart the PC completely
Download and install Sims 3 Late Night (this should probably work with other applications too)
Start msconfig.exe again
Click on restart normally
Start the new installation
This passage is translated from Dutch so there are probably a lot of different names in the US/UK versions of Windows. I had tried a lot of things that were mentioned on forums, live chatted with an origin co-worker and more. Finally my dad helped me by trying this and it finally started downloading. I now have it installed so by my opinion this should work.
I hope anyone still having problems with this error gets helped with this answer.
Kind regards.

Hi everyone,
I had the same problem with simcity, this worked for me:
Just install Hotspot shield (there's a trial version)
Open origin
Download the game
And enjoy playing
