New EA dowloader link. Not very good.

The older EA dowloader was great. No annoying adds, faster and more efficient. Yesterday I downloaded NFS Carbon, a whopping 4 GB! On a 512KB ADSL connection, that took me almost 20 hours.

I got back from work and was so exited to try it out. I clicked "install" and went to get into something more comfortable. After 15 minutes, the installation process was at 3/3 60%. Then I got a message that the download was corrupt and it had to download again. I was back to square one, a joystick in my hand with no game to play! I was so frustrated. My poor Toshiba is still downloading at home. I hope I don't run into the same problem again today.

Anyone has any ideas/been through the same thing?

 

i had the exact same thing happen to me when i tried to download the lotr:bfmeII demo!!!! i think ea is going crazy...spyware in games, horrible downloader...whats next??

 

I've decided to no longer buy EA products because of stuff like this. But the spyware thing is most of my reasons

 

I stopped messing with the EA site awhile ago.

I tried to download NFS carbon demo from Gamespot. They limit their download so badly ...It was 70kb or less.

I finally decided to download it VIA Torrent ..thru ISOHUNT.

Now I torrent download most huge Demos


PS ....NFS sucks to me. Atleast the demo does.

 

How can you get it through Torrent? I already bought it through EA downloader, would I be able to get the key from there and enter it from the torrent download?

 

I was talking about the demo versions.

But if you already have your key, I don't see why downloading the full version VIA torrent wouldn't work.

It's works with software, so it should work with games. IMO tho.


I would be PISSED if they limited download bandwith on a PURCHASE. Thats a big NO-NO

 

well i stopped buying the newer ea games (nfs carbon, bf2142, etc.) although i still dont mind buying older ea games, cause im planning on buying lotr:bftmII

 

Dear god, if the Sims 3 has spyware, EA will pay!

 

EA has such horrid quality control, and programming... they just buy licenses from other game companies or sports teams, etc. and build crap. Generals was a fun game, but they completely screwed up the network code on it. All kinds of bad things. I have no respect for EA, and will go out of my way to not buy games they make.
