    teamviewer remote connected through my iphone. started the download :D

    1.40 hr left, at 700KB/s download speed. pretty good for ADSL.

    set defrag to start at 15:00. hopefully will be able to defrag the game then ready for me when i get home.


    go to Free Games in Origin Store, it's right there on the largest section.

    20Mb Virgin line, makes life easier :D (20Mb = 2.5MB right? :eek:)
    Really wish you could change settings whilst not in a game; have most of my team standing around playing with their resolutions + settings :lol:

    I have an eternal problem... I am at home... 250KB/s connection, unlimited (or at least I'm not footing the bill :p).

    Go to uni and I have a 50MB/s (yes capital B)! But a 3GB/day limit and 14GB/week :(

    Neither the website nor the client.

    EDIT: 15 mins later it worked, looks like Steam 8 years ago.

    I'm trying to get onto Origin just to 'find' the game for later ...nothing doing. Safe to assume Origin has crashed?
