    Instead of buying ME1 again on Origin, you could have just redeemed your ME1 serial code through the special EA activation-website for games before 2008 here (taken from this EA knowledge-base article). If it still doesn't show up, talk to a game advisor they can add it to your account manually when you give them the serial. Worked for me, I now have all three games on Origin without needing to buy one again. Download speed was no issue. Maybe talk to your provider, some providers have poor peerings especially when it comes to oversee-connections. Never had a speed-problem with Origin downloads.

Well, I do not have an answer - but I can report that my download speed did NOT increase at any time during the download of Omega. ;(

But thanks for the tip, I own ME1 on steam, and I wanted Pinnacle Station as well - I would have repurchased on Origin but not with this download problem. Sorry, poster, that I do not have an answer - but I can report that Origin continues to slooowly download while you play games on steam (bonus points if you are in offline mode), so hopefully that can keep you busy whilst you wait? ;(

Cheers.
