Also have this problem. Recently purchased PC box version with EA redeem code. Everytime game downloads itself, the download restarts (and another 128GB is downloading again). Tried alredy 5th times and on 2 computers. EA support adice is to use CCleaner, reinstall EA app and try clean Boot system (this last advice is what I haven't tried yet). Now I am trying download again with Antivirus off.
But I have a theory where the bug is. I have EA app installed on C:\ where I have only 30GB left, but the game itself I am downloading and trying to install on disk T:\ where is a lot of free space (more than 300GB). Maybe the problem is, in that EA app (and also system TEMP folder) does not have 128GB left? Cannot try this option, because system disk itself C:\ is only 120GB big.
Can anyone of you confirm my theory? Has someone alse installing game on other disk than system one (or one where EA app is installed).
Thanks for replies.

What I find somewhat strange is that (on two different PCs and with multiple downloads) always the same file is logged be corrupt...
