@mk_foxx Try disable Origin Client Service in the Services Control Panel or using msconfig. That temporary solved the problem for people that recently had trouble downloading anything with Origin.

It is caused by the Origin client can't communicate successfully with OriginClientService.exe which is supposed to run as a service using System account.
