Have you changed the default installation location of Origin?

 

Try turning off User Account Control temporarily:

Hit Windows key-R and enter "services.msc" without quotes.  Scroll through the list of services to find the ones labeled Origin Client Service and Origin Web Helper Service.  For each, double-click, select "disabled" under Startup type, and click Apply.  Then try downloading again.
