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

    You have 25 GB of hard disk space left which nowadays is not a whole lot but I would think it should work to install the patch.

    Your computer is overall a bit weak but that has nothing to do with the error.

    Do try if you can free up some disc space. Delete your temp files in windows\temp and other temp files. You can use a tool called cclearer to help you with that.

    :/ update still isn't working. it still gets right to the end before this message pops up that says: Update error: I/O operation failed (attribute modification)

    and it also says something about the wizard being interrupted before it could finish, which is silly because nothing else was running on my computer except the update wizard, and i didn't touch it the whole time it was trying to update........ ugh.... 

    that other message that i got before didn't come up this time though...

    I/O message is because of antivirus/Firewall 99% of the time.

    Wish I had some other suggestions.

    I'll put this in the helpers thread to see if someone else has one.

    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

    So, I tried downloading the newest patch from SIMS4 and it wouldnt work, and I tried it twice. Now its not even showing up to offer an update and I can't play my game at all. I've restarted my computer and Origin twice.
