I'm having the same exact problem. I purchased sims 2 double delux hours ago but still haven't played it because the download hasn't gone any further than 8%. This is after I've restarted my computer several times and tried re-downloading it. I defragmented disks to clear up space (even though I had plenty for the game) and tried ending processes on the task manager but none of it seems to help. I started the download over again and it is currently at 7% and says that 16 hours remain... I'm not sure what to try next.

I searched on other forums and have found that this problem is happening to a lot of people: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/7490959.page

I downloaded the game, it was at 99% and went back to **bleep** 75% after like 4 days waiting.

same problem here but the weird thing is when I tried installing it on my mother's macbook pro it only took me about 5 minutes to download the sims3 and all extension packs and now on my macbook air it takes forever.
