I am constantly having problems with Origins downloader. From Apex, Titan Fall 2, Battlefield - any game that I attempt to download on Origin eventually pauses reading 0h 0m 0s remaining, and I have to restart Origin for this problem to resolve.
Through the course of the game download I have to restart Origin many times to complete the download. I have also spoken to EA customer service which had me flush the DNS, release/renew and all those other command prompts.
I have fast internet and no issues with other online platforms like steam. I have no firewall, and have tried using safe mode in the Origin downloader - nothing has worked.

It could be a connection issue you are seeing @Bluehabit.
Can you ensure that the correct ports for Origin are open on your router:
