Why does Origin's download suck so bad? Every game I've every downloaded since the start of Origin always stops when the game is nearly downloaded and takes forever for the last 3%. It constantly stops at 0 bits and sits there, then starts back up until the download speeds drops to 0 again and again and again. Pausing then resuming just makes it worse because it'll actually start over on a partion of the download. Example: (Showed 5.60gb, paused, then resumed and now shows 5.56gb downloaded).
The download speeds are ungodly slow for my connection. I can get 20-25MB down on steam any time but it's a battle on Origin to get a constant 5MB down. Speeds are so sporadic.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Origin is the ONLY program I use that sucks at downloading. After reading the long thread under mine and trying all things suggested, I can come to the conclusion it's EA's end that is affecting so many people.

There is also bottleneck with win10, some play games sametime and that will reduce DL speed ( most call this windows sizing ) it try keep a game lag free and dl sametime, you can test this with other pc download there and play on other, can lead to laggy game, and is sort-off proof that you wan line is at maximum and you are the congestion in this case,
and many forget that harddisk load or play a game while download also lead to ½ throughput on same disk, ( pc owner know this, same as make multi copy to same disk only make it slow )
so there is alot of pc system issue sametime.
but do check own cable, most bugs has been seen at users own equipment, cable dont like bend or pulled , you ruin the cable conditions and trasferrate will suffer from this. most user know this. but years ago a 10meter cable was 12 meter, so year seen abit of everything
also check if router need firmware or IOS update depend on router type.
goto Brand router support Site. ( most user dont do this. but sometimes it actual fix it. )
same can be said with netcard drivers ( nic )
most have onboard , then its morhterboard brand support site or pc brand

Sorry to hear that @ADI-CONQUER. I'm testing it now and I have 42% of the game downloaded in under 20 minutes. Have you checked your speeds to and ensured that your network is optimised?
