Alternative to EA Download Manager?

-Mr.Fridge · Mar 8, 2010, 09:11 PM

Hello folks.

I have prepurchase BadCompany2 via EA Store.
It turns out, that the EADM with this game is INCREDIBLY slow!
Plus, after downloading abou 85% of the game I have lost my secondary hard-drive (Which hold all my data, pictures, games, videos I had for years

) and so I now need to download everything all-over again and it take forever! (Downloads at 470Kb/s for 10 seconds, than stops for about 20, and so on...)

So, nowdays this game is very easily downloaded via Torrents, so I thought, maybe I'll shorten the download time via the Torrents, and than let EADM know I have the game somehow...

Is a thing like that even possible? I Mean, I havn't got any Serial Number for I have it through digital purchase :-\

Help...?

All you need to do is download the game cache from a friend's EADM into your own EADM cache.
turn-on you EADM, and VUALA! you have the game downloaded and ready for you!

Well, thanks for the help guys!
I hope that my experiance will help others...
