Updating BF4 from computer to computer, please help

Hi, my internet is shoddily slow for downloads, so I do my downloading over a friend's house and bring it back to install it. For Battlefield 4 and Origin, how would I go about correctly updating...

You need to start the download for the patch and pause it. For this short moment it should display the normal download speed.
Then you have to rename the files you got from your friend. Everything that's in "Battlefield 4\Update\Patch". E.g. "cas_01.cas" to "cas_01.cas_DiP_STAGED".
Copy the renamed files into your "Update\Patch" folder.
Resume the download and it should immediately display 95% or so. You have to download only the 5% with normal speed.
Then you can do the same for China Rising. The files are in "Battlefield 4\Update\Xpack1". Here you don't have to download additional files. Everything is in the Xpack1 folder.

It's confusing what ones you're saying to rename, but even then I'm not sure if I've done it right.

Should the download start from 0% and still show my normal download speed? It's too risky to allow it to run for longer because it will just end up downloading the whole thing.

Thanks, once I got my head around the renaming and copying it worked just as you said :cathappy:

How exactly would I be able to do this with expansions, if each pack ranges from 5-7gb. And which folder exactly. I want to this to really work. Also which folder do copy?
