Re: Can I resume a download if I shut down my computer?

Hi WolfsSoul118,

Yes, if you pause the download you can pick up from where you left off. 

Thanks

    Yes, your game download progress will be saved if you quit Origin. Just make sure to pause the download before you quit.
  • What if I just shut my computer? I don't want it to lose battery, so if I just shut it (Not shut it down, This is a MacBook) will it continue to load?

    @SJV1132007 As long as closing the screen down does not put the Mac to sleep or shut it down then the game will continue to download but as the system is still running the battery will be used. 

  • so in order to continue downloading a game, you have to have origin running? i was downloading a game and i closed origin, when i launched origin the next day, there was no progress made over the night. I was a bit irritated and confused. Do i have to have origin minimized and running to download games? I can't close it or put my computer into sleep mode like steam?

    You will need to have Origin running and your PC on in order to continue downloading games @Hi_U_D1E.

    When your computer is in sleep mode nothing will download, this also applies to Steam. When your computer goes into sleep mode all running programs are paused as they are placed in a state of suspended animation so to speak.
