Uhm...about 40-45 gig...hehe. If you have the retail disks you can reduce the total download size significantly by installing them and copying the large data files over to where Origin will install the game. Origin then auto-detects the files that are the same, and downloads the rest.

Hi,
thx for your reply.
40-45 GB ... ouch ... roughly, that would mean a whole week of uninterrupted downloading I'm afraid.
I have no retail discs whatsoever .... So, either I need to obtain a copy of the discs or download the whole lot. The latter does not seem doable I'm afraid ...
It looks like the physical (retail discs) version of the Utlimate Collection has been discontinued. Is there any other way for me to obtain it and prefereably in Western-Australia, where I currently reside ?
Thx so much in advance

Hmmm, does not seem so. You can use The First Decade's disks too. Also, afaik there were no disks made for CNC UC. There was a box being sold which only contained a cd-key to be used in Origin. I think the whole point was to....motivate....people to use Origin.
If it was me, I'd start downloading the one wanted to play first, then slowly download the rest in the order you would want 🙂
If you want to play them from the beginning to the end, then it will go quickly, since the first few games are very small (relative to the newer ones).

Allright, thx again for your reply.
No luck for me then. I'm gonna have to download them one by one, as you say.
I'm not a gamer at all but C&C, I just love and I just gotta have it.
Cheers
