I've encountered a very odd issue while trying to download Dragon Age: Inquisition. Namely, Origin correctly downloaded the first 96% perfectly but breaks horribly after that. What happened is that the download speed gradually slowed from about 4 mb to 0 bytes a second and it stays and nothing or next to nothing permanently. If I restart Origin the speed briefly returns to a few megabytes, but then it declines again to 0 B/sec or close to it.Any idea why this happens or how to fix it?

Could you please try the steps below: Pause and resume the download Do a Clean Boot and restart your modem/router Add firewall/antivirus exceptions for Origin and open the needed ports When starting Origin, please make sure to run it as Administrator

I tried everything I can , but it is always not working. even I tried all the solutions online have, I just feel like I have been blocked during download process, but I don't know how and why. It looks like not from my computer o.O I just try to download the games which I bought online,why ...

If the download just stops or loses progress you could enabled Safe Mode downloading in Application Settings - Advanced (top left corner of the Origin client, Origin menu) to see if this helps.

Same problem here. Can't download things all the way.
Try safe mode? OK, I'll let you know in a week when it's finished downloading....
Or, how about we get a REAL fix?

For those who haven't solved this problem yet, go on Origin, go to the top left and look for "application settings", then go to advanced, then turn on safe mode. This always completes my download whenever I have this issue.

I usually play on Windows but when I tried to download it on Mac the download speed goes down to 0B/sec. I have fast connection 10-15mbps. I also have tried all your "solutions" but it's still going back to 0b/sec.

Nothing is working on my end. I've tried contacting origin staff with no response. Download speeds will approach my current ceiling; 1mbps, but slow to 0 and not restart for some time. I let it go overnight, and 10 hrs=7%. I had the exact same issue when trying to download the origin installer from your website. I have tried starting Origin in R&D mode, manually setting my IPs and DNS adresses to only look at EA and Google, Flushed my DNS, re-installed origin, restarted the downloads, clean boot, disabled my firewall and put in exceptions for the ports,......and nothing. I'd really like to play. Please help?

Having exact same issue as original post. Safe mode, dns flush, safe mode, etc. do nothing. Internet connection confirmed good with other apps (including Steam) - no problems. Only Origin is having a problem.
