why are the download speeds extremely slow on origin?

[5eth_Kilvanteer]

Did not work for me.

Let's be honest, it is a total BS that I am getting average DL speed of 4.5 MBs on a 400 Mbs fiber. I start origin, it goes to 16.5 MBs, and then slowly drops to 4.5... goes like t hat for some time and then stops.

No other platform does that. I am currently stuck on 30% DL of Apex and, honestly, as much as I enjoy the game I am fed up with this nonsense.

Try to repair the game.

(Right click on Apex in the game library > Repair.)

Hey,

Tried repairing, reinstalled Origin. It is downloading now - average speed 2 - 3 MBs. Still nonsense.

@5eth_Kilvanteer 

It certainly is very slow for that connection, problem is that it can have many reasons.

Did you tried the suggestions in this post?

[5eth_Kilvanteer]

I spoke too early... stuck on 36%...

[5eth_Kilvanteer]

I did try the solution from the other post. Made no difference.

Had the same issue with the previous update. Had to repair 3 times.

You did restarted your Router and your PC?

Another possibility is to clear the Origin cache:

All settings in Origin (only in Origin not in the games) are back to default settings after this.)

• Close Origin completely.
  (right click on the Origin symbol in the task bar > close)
• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
• Type or copy and paste "%ProgramData%/Origin" (without quotes) into the new window > hit ENTER
• Delete all the files and folders in the Origin folder, except for the "LocalContent" folder.
  (The "LocalContent" folder must remain untouched.)
• Press the Windows key and "R" at the same time.
• Type or copy and paste "%AppData%" (without quotes) into the new window > hit ENTER
• Now your Windows explorer should have brought you to your "C:\Users\>your user name<\AppData\Roaming" folder.
• Delete the "Origin"  folder inside the "Roaming" folder.
• In the address bar of your Windows explorer click on "AppData".
• Open the "Local" folder.
• Delete the "Origin"  folder inside the  "Local" folder.
• Restart your PC. > test

Google DNS might be worth a shot too.

But to be honest, there are many possible reasons, and I'm just guessing.

Thanks Holger,

I will leave the machine overnight and see what happens. If it downloads, good, if not, I will try the solution you shared. I should not have to do all those tricks. Maybe one day this will be fixed.
