How to continue BFH download in other PC

I've purchased this game and downloaded for 7 GB in my home , but I wanted to continue the download at another computer in my office .

The Battlefield Hardline folder is downloaded in the drive C ( C:\ Program Files (x86) \ Origin Games ) .

So I paused the download , changed the " Downloaded Games " location to my 1 TB WD Passport ( J:\ Origin Games ).

I moved the BFH folder from drive C to drive J , and clicked resume download , but it downloads once again from the beginning whilst creating a new BFH folder in drive C.

Then I found the fix , is that I had to cancel the download first , then start a fresh download and once it started downloading I paused .

The 7 GB folder I just moved to drive J had been erased by Origin ! But fortunately I made another copy of that folder before doing this .

So I copied that 7 GB BFH folder into drive J ( J:\ Origin Games ) once again and resumed the download in origin.

It started to read the file , I can see the progression from 0 % to 9% then stopped .

It continued to download after reading at 2 GB only , it skipped the other 5 GB !

The BFH folder size in drive J transformed from 7 GB to 2 GB . So I think I was doing something wrong .

But still , fortunately I made another copy before doing this again . There's still another 7 GB undamaged folder in my PC .

But I don't know what to do now . Am I doing something wrong ?

    here is how I did it

    close origin

    i have my origin folder on G:

    so I pointed origin to G:\games\origin (yours will be different)

    copied across the entire BFH folder to g:\games\origin

    start origin

    go to the library, select hardline and select download

    it will say preparing download (but it doesnt, it checks you have the files)

    then it goes to install

    i've done this 3 or 4 times now (bf3,bf4,bfh all work the same way)

    Thanks for replying . But my BFH is still incomplete , there is 23 GB left to download .

    I did as you said , it says " Preparing download " and start reading my download file which is 7 GB . But it only reads through 2 GB only , then continues downloading starting from 2 GB not 7 GB , it skipped the other 5 GB .
