EA Download Manager Network Problem

Hi, I recently purchased FIFA Manager 2010 through EA Store.

After that, I downloaded EADM, installed. After I ran it, it says my computer is offline. I guess it's because my dorm's network blocks the ports that EADM uses. I know bypassing the blockage is considered illegal. Is there any other legal way around this? since I can't log into EADM, I can't download the game. Even if I installed from a DVD, I won't be able to play because the game requires internet access to check the ownership at the first run.

Any help would be much appreciated. I'm dying to play my favorite game.

 

Yeah i hate having to this with the latest games

I think its best if you go to a friends house or an internet cafe.

 

IMO the EADM is one of the worst ways possible to buy a game. I bought Crysis and crysis warhead that way almost 2 months ago. It has been 2 months and they still cannot figure out why the CD key will not activate on my account (even issued me multiple new CD keys) and nothing will show in EADM, even after extensive analysis by them, complete reinstalls/installs of the game/app/even the OS. 2 months and still no games...I said screw it and bought a boxed copy.

 

FIFA Manager still needs EADM even if I bought a boxed copy.

 

Ok, guys....so now I'm back home for thanksgiving.
I downloaded the game via EADM, installed, updated and everything.
I can play the game now....but everytime I start a 3D match, the game crashes.
as in...the "Manager10.exe stopped working." windows pop up.
I emailed EA about it...no reply.
posted on their forums too with no real help.
There's no point playing that game without 3D match.

 

EADM has lots of issues. I remember trying to get my BF2 to work though them. Biggest hassle ever. You should be able to go to the EA site and search on how to fi your issue.
