    What is your Internet connection speed?

    Are you on WiFi or cable?

    I started downloading at around 11PM last night and woke up in the morning at 10:40AM and it had downloaded 13%! I was furious but allowed it to download whilst I was out the whole day. I got back home at 7:40PM and it had downloaded 19%! At this point I was extremely angry. But now suddenly at 8:23 its now on 54%. explanation anyone I have great Wi-Fi so that isn't an issue.

    Hi @xaaliyahmeganx

    Spoiler

    There are a few things you could try:

    1. Pause and resume the download
    2. Do a Clean Boot and restart your router
    3. Add firewall/antivirus exceptions for Origin and open the needed ports
    4. When starting Origin, please make sure to run it as Administrator

    This worked thank you. The clean boot and router restart fixed it i feel, however i did all the other steps aswell. managed to get my downlaod from 129kb/s to 29mbs which is now quicker than steam.🤓
