Slow Download Speed
I've seen this posted a number of times but I haven't seen any real answers to this. Why is the download speed so ridiculously low? I have Steam as well and I can download games usually at 4-5 Mb/s but on Origin I'm lucky to get 500 kb/s. The other threads have the usual advice about forwarding ports, adding exceptions in firewall/anti-virus, restarting Origin etc., but that doesn't fix the issue for me or for most others seemingly and I don't understand why that is needed for Origin. Clearly it shouldn't be since Steam (Origin's direct competitor) can figure this out without those workarounds, so what is the issue? I have also tried using the R&D mode by making the EACore.ini file which had no effect. I'm just so frustrated and confused.
Unfortunate - I really thought that would do the trick!
I do have one more tip of trying a clean boot which I didn't see mentioned in your post yet.
Should that not help then I'm afraid that we then have to immediately jump to the worst case scenario, which is your internet provider throttling Origin's download speeds. I've seen this happen quite often and the only solution for this is to contact them directly to have this changed.
And do let me know if my tips work out for you.
