Downloading DA:Inquisition on a 32-bit machine

Hiya. I bought a key in Origin for Dragon Age Inquisition. I have a laptop with Windows Vista 32bit and PC with Windows x64bit.
So, basically, I want to know if it is at all possible to download (not install or play, just download) DA:I on a Vista 32bit laptop. I want only check my connection transfer speed.

Sadly, there's no option in Origin to download (Just get the message "Game requires 64 bit windows").
Waiting 50 hours for the game to download is really not something I want to do.

Is there any way I can ONLY download ( (not install or play, just download) Dragon Age Inquisition on laptop with Windows Vista 32bit? Or download is only possible with system 64bit?

I'd guess you want to download on your laptop then transfer it to your PC? Unfortunately i'm not aware of a way to subvert the on-download 64-bit check.

If anyone else you know has the game installed you can copy their Dragon Age Inquisition folder from C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games without needing to download it using Origin.

So only downloading that game from Origin its not possible on system with 32 bit? I want only check transfer speed on my connection from Origin by downloading Dragon Age I. So its not possible then?
Ps. I dont want to transfer it to my PC. I just want to check transfer.

You could download another game, Simcity 2000 is available for free now, though that might be too fast a download.

There are also a selection of games that you can download for free with Game Time to test, too: https://www.origin.com/en-ie/store/free-games/game-time

Note that Origin shows the uncompressed filesize when downloading, so it can be a little confusing when downloading heavily compressed files.
