The "Solution" is just a statement of common placebo (in this case) belt and braces checks to catch some client side installation (and possibly system corruption) issues.
I do not work for EA or have any affiliation with them (other than being a customer) but I am a software engineer and have at least some experience in networked software. The following is just speculation and an educated guess on my part...
If I were to guess, I would reckon that there are issues in the Origin client with downloading from servers under heavy load situations. The regressing in progress is possibly down to some communication error resulting in the client believing it needs to throw away perhaps more than it really has to. I would not even venture as to proposing a solution for the issue though as this is almost certainly a coding/server configuration problem.
This has gone beyond rediculous. I have been sitting at 99% complete for 14 HOURS. I have tried every solution given. I have moved my PC to another house, on a different network and isp, and I've used my phones tether to try to finsih the last 0.09GB of download. None of these solutions have worked. I am going to ask for my money back. All of you should do so as well. We payed for a good which has not been provided to us.
