This is ridiculous! 6 hours (only 10% downloaded) and has said 44 hours to go for most of that time. I could have driven to the shop, bought it, come home installed and been playing for hours. FIX YOUR SERVER ORIGIN!

I WILL NEVER BUY AN ORIGIN GAME ONLINE AGAIN, AND POSSIBLY NEVER AN ORIGIN GAME EITHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello revkevgt,

EA don't have their own content delivery system for content distribution through the Origin client.

Remember Accept as Solution & add some XP if this answered the question!

    Hello Frozusa,

    Sorry, I'm not sure what you're saying. Is there somewhere else better to download EA games from online? If not, then EA & Origin need to take responsibility for the poor delivery system. At least warn people it will take days to download online purchases. 10 hours for 17%, and still estimated 43 hours to go is not acceptable.

      Hello revkevgt,

      EA use the Akamai Content Delivery system for it's content distribution through the Origin client.

      @ragnarok013, Regardless of persons download speed the above system fails for many people to distribute content at a decent download speed.

      example: Many of the people complaining have 10Mbit/s+ connections but the above content distribution system is only allowing 1Mbit/s and below.

      1Mbit/s = 0.125MB/128KB

        Thanks frozusa.

        Downloading on my connection normally sees speeds >300kb/sec, and the origin download is 90 to 100kb/sec, so the problem is at their end, not the connection.

        Thanks for the tips ragnarok013, but my PC is on LAN and not doing anything else but downloading this file. Hopefully overnight the transfer rate will increase dramatically.

    Forgot to say thanks frozusa for the install from backup tip. At least I won't have to go through all this again when I get my new PC in a couple of days.
