High CPU usage while downloading
I have high CPU usage while downloading. There was no such problem in the past. Looks like EA App is doing Bitcoin Mining. Why not! :/
Forum Discussion
I have to disagree with people suggesting this is normal. While it might be normal for the EA App, it's far from normal for installers. Every other installer I use, Steam, Xbox, Gog, Blizzard does not suffer from this. The EA App is abnormal in that it stresses my CPU more than any game or any installer.
I take it since the thread I opened was closed and directed here that there is no solution to the problem.

If other people — and we — are saying this behaviour is normal, and you still feel unsure about it, that’s totally okay. But just to reassure you, this is pretty standard for how downloads are handled by most launchers like Steam, Ubisoft Connect, Battle.net, and the EA app.
You are saying that yes but other people as you can see by reading this thread and other ones that have been created and closed, can assure you that the EA App is abnormal when it comes to CPU usage. I am in no way unsure because I have downloaded several games over the past week using several launchers and none of them stressed my CPU like the EA App.
In fact I was able to even play games while downloading using other launchers and at no time was my CPU stressed the way it was when downloading using the EA App.
