Error 131079:6 - Earth DLC won't download

Good day!

I am having trouble with downloading the Earth DLC through Origin, it starts downloading saying "Preparing download" but after some time gives me the following message: " An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again in few moments. Error: 131079:6"

All previous DLCs as well as new Leviathan DLC installed correctly.

I am running Windows 7.

Could you, please, advise on how to deal with the problem?

    What have you tried?

    First steps would be to wait a few moments and try again.

    Perhaps a reboot.

    Do you have any networking diagnostics tools?

    Task Manager has a rudimentary one, you can have that running and click on the Networking tab, start the download and watch for spikes in Bandwidth.  That would give you a clue on how far you are going.

    This thread seems to have solved it:

    Basically, use an older version of Origin to download the DLC.

    I tried several approaches:

    1) Restarted Origin several times

    2) Rebooted

    3) Reinstalled Origin

    4) Added Origin in antivirus\firewall exceptions

    5) Deleted the game

    Only the last one showed some results: I managed to get Earth DLC installed but now the problem moved to Extended Cut, Leviathan and Resurgence DLCs.

    As for the network activity, I looked it up into the Process Explorer, and it seems that when I push the download button Origin opens TCP/IP connection (or two) and after that shows no activity.

    Could you please advise where it is possible to download earlier Origin version?
