How damn long does it take to prepare?

I've tried to download ME several times and all I get is a good ol' spinny with the word preparing. 5 minutes, 10 minutes, more minutes, I finally call BS and abort, then try again, only to sit and watch a spinny and the 'preparing" again and again.

It's had way too ,long to prepare, i want it to actually download. Since this is EA we're talking about is there some sort of microtransaction I have ti complete to start the actual download?

    I've been told I should just leave my system running maybe for a couple hours for the download to begin. I won't do that. This delay is intolerable and do you know why businesses do intolerable things? Because people tolerate them. This is ridiculous and if the download can;t begin within 5-10 minutes that EA is incompetent and needs to have people start kicking it until it shapes up.

    The download should start Immediately. If it doesn't there is a problem.

    What is your Origin version number? (Origin menu > Help > about.)
