I noticed Origin downloaded games a lot faster than Steam, on origin I get around 2 or 3mb/s and on Steam 800kb/s to 1mb/s. Why do you think this is and does it happen to you?
Yeah about 600kbps - 1.2mb/s on steam. I ended up buying BF3 on Direct2drive and got around 6 or so mb/s. I wish I knew the real reason behind steams lame slowness aswell. I even tried many different servers, found Seattles to be the 'best' from my location.
i have not downloaded anything with origin yet so i couldnt tell you.. i doubt i will either. if its on steam ill buy it on steam and if its not ill buy it in store.
But i really won't be bothered if one is a bit faster. It's not like i can't wait a bit. That and they still provide one of the fastest downloads i have seen so.
