Preload Download Progress Keeps Regressing
I have been trying to download DAI since it became available yesterday. During that time my download progress keeps regressing. It doesn't happen at the same point every time, but it'll continually...

I am playing the game after countless sleepless nights checking whether the download regressed or not. I have tried almost all solutions here but they did not work for me.
The only option left (in case you tried all the options) is to let the game keep downloading and keep checking for regression. IT WILL REGRESS quite frequently but you have to be just at it and look forward to see the download materialize. Better option would be to purchase the DVD version of the gameif you are getting too frustrated with the download.
EA should be sending us that are affected by the issue the DVDs for FREE especially those of us that have pre-ordered the game through the Origin store.
I have been almost constantly trying to download this game and some DLC for another game for 17 days straight now. I have even gone to the effort of installing Origin on a fresh clean base install of Windows 7 to no avail. This sporadic regression issue is to the point of being totally unacceptable and I am getting close to boycotting any future EA title regardless of whether it uses Origin or not.
Origin should be downloading material in a reasonable time frame given the end-user's download bandwidth is sufficient - under 8 hours is a reasonable expectation (for DA:I) given at least 10Mb download bandwidth (I have a 50Mb service but getting a nominal 1MB/s download speed when I should really be getting 4-5MB/s download speed - possibly due to ISP throttling for excessive bandwidth usage). On that basis I have probably used enough bandwidth to have downloaded the title over 50 times (something like >1TB of bandwidth usage effectively wasted in less than a month).
