So i bought the humble bundle bta because i thought battlefield 3 and sims 3 are great games the only thing i have to deal with origin with some stupid layout and no community. But that wouldn't be a problem if i just activate, download and play the game on the download part i was wrong. I'm downloading battlefield 3 for ages now. Every 5 to 10 minutes i need to restart origin because the download stopped and i cant restart the download without restarting origin.

So my question: does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Tl;DR: Origin sucks and i need help!

Never happened to me that the download stops...try reinstalling origin? Or maybe it's your connection

I tried re installing already and it cant be my connection because steam is working fine (even on large files like shogun 2)

Maybe you are out of space?
If the download progressing? But just very slowly?

It is possible their servers are overloaded because of the HB sale.

It doesn't matter what it opens, truth is, it's good. You launch the game, find the match over browser and game will instantly pop-up when everything it's loaded, in meantime you can do whatever you want, waste time on SG? Battlelog? FB, twitter? whatever you want. And when with battlelog you can check your stats everywhere, tablets, pc, console, phones, it doesn't matter. You don't need to launch game. Yeah bad feature indeed.

I had this problem a few months ago with mass effect 3, it went away in a few days though and returned to normal speed. Maybe the issue is also the millions of people downloading games from buying the humble bundle?

Origin has a lot to learn, that's for sure. The client restarted my PC without warning or asking while installing (absolutely hate it!), then messed around with downloads from the start, saying BF3 was 50 (fifty!) GB to download, then changed several times before settling on 20ish GB. Never stopped the actual download though. The fact that BF3 requires a browser start is so lame. The game itself isn't bad so far (campaign), but the real test will be online.

I watched my download when i downloaded 8gb and it went back to 2gb but after like 5 minutes i downloaded 8gb again.

Origin needs a major update on the downloading and if they want to be something that can really be a danger to gabes wallet they need to add a community and better prices when items are on sale.

There are currently a minimum of 6.000.000 keys being sold by Humble Bundle. You are not the only one that wants to play their bought games.

Er.. When in doubt, always blame yourself first, unless Origin has preferential treatment, its your Internet connection thats the problem
