Origin sucks (in case you needed a reminder)

if you are thinking of buying any game released by EA do yourself a favor and pop into town to buy a physical copy, I've just installed windows hate on my pc and have had to download my games again.

Steam: 3 games downloaded in a few hours

Origin: one game 65% downloaded and its taken me all friggin day!

what's worse is that the % keeps dropping back, so far its been as high as 70% but keeps slipping back to around 60%

save yourself the pain and buy a physical disc if a game you really want is on this platform, even if you have to buy the box online and wait a few days for it to arrive there is a good chance it will still be faster than trying to download it via this POS client.

and there was me looking forward to playing NFS: the run tonight

what makes it worse is that i still have 2 other games from them that i need to download, at this rate they may be finished by xmas

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Did you know you can copy the Origin Games folder and then paste it in your new location/pc and it saves you downloading?

Not much use to you now, I know, but a handy tip!

yea i know, but with a full re-install i decided to do a complete wipe of my hard drive and with only having the one drive and a USB2 external that's full i had nowhere to put it
