Error when downloading/installing patch?!

When I try to download the latest patch (Sims3_1.63.4.024002_from_1.57.62.023002.exe) from the Sims 3 (I also have ambitions and pets installed) I get an error message and it can't complete the download. This hasn't happened before. The message is :

Error Code: -5006 : 0x80070020
Error Information:
>SetupNew\setup.cpp (630)
PAPP:

PVENDOR:Electronic Arts (http://www.TheSims3.com)
PGUID:C05D8CDB-417D-4335-A38C-A0659EDFD6B8
$15.0.0.498PAK

What can I do to make the download work?? My game still works and everything it's just this patch won't download. :/

Thanks x

    Thank you so much for your help! I did some more looking around on the internet and i finally managed to update! What i did was updated origin by unistalling and re-installing,  deleted all the cache files using this page http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Sims_3_Delete_Cache_Files from a forum advice page i found, and the used the super patch. So yeah, all is good now thank goodness :D
