HEY THERE,
I literally had the same issue just now literally a few days after you posted this 02/17.

I finally got my expansions to finish downloading because I found an old exe for Origin on my husband's computer. When it launched Origin, the pop-up saying I need to update to EA App came up and stopped me from doing anything, but it still continued to finish downloading in the background.
