How do I set maximum download speed in origin?

[trek554]

yep found this damn thread when looking for way to limit dl speeds. this is freaking ridiculous and should have been implemented years ago yet here we are with no way of doing so halfway through 2017.

Hi all,

In this recent post, we've explained that we are aware of your desire for this function, and that we are listening to your feedback.

We couldn't give a confirmation earlier, as we did not want to disappoint anyone in case this function got delayed. But good news, it's just been added to the Origin beta update - you can try it out right now:

Thanks again for all your passionate feedback! In the meantime, we encourage you to keep reaching out to us on the Origin community forums with all your thoughts and comments regarding Origin. We'll be there, and we are listening.

Thank you,

Cheers,

I'm lucky I only thought of needing this now, not 3 years ago. 
Sorry to everyone who had to get all pissed about this. At least we have it now.

Holy cow you guys finally implemented download throttling.  Good on you for finally getting it into your client, in the summer of 2017.  Better late than never! :eahigh_file:

This thread is about reducing the Origin download speed, not about problems with the download Speed.

I would suggest to create a new topic, if you wan't help about this problem.
