Great. Thanks a ton furious_gamer, krishnandu.sarkar, arijitsinha :). Downloading Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box , 12% completed :cool:.

BTW, first I tried with State Bank of India MasterCard Debit Card , it didn't work. Bank of Baroda Visa Debit Card worked & Rs. 334 deducted for $5.

I doubt if they are using internet for first time. Next they will ask How can I download while my PC is shut down.

Yeah, I know the feeling, it's similar when you get while teaching how to use a computer to an old person. In this case, we're not old so the irritation is much worse :-D.

Huh? The quote you quoted said '' remember to pause it'' and my question is if I dont remember to pause it and shut down the pc what will happen?

IDK bro, I didn't do that. With torrents I can think of direct shut down as on startup it checks for the checksum and all.

But I don't think it'll resume download if you just shut it down, because on shut down, technically system sends terminate message to all the running processes if they don't terminate it force kills all.

So theoretically I don't think it'll resume download if you don't pause it.

Though you can try it out, we can then know what happens :p

But don't dare to do that if a huge part is downloaded :D

To all who are panicked about 30 days download thing, read these carefully.

Do games expire after 30 days on origin if you don't download them? - Yahoo!7 Answers

Long story short, this limitation was in EA Download Manager, which is replaced by Origin, so there is no such kind of limitation. Your game will stay forever even if you never download them. Even in worst case your game disappeared you can show them proof of purchase and get that game back.

It depends on the procedure which download manager follows. Anyway, as I said, I really never tried it. But as questions are coming up, I'm sure one can test it. Like download 1% - 2% and shut down pc directly without Pausing. And on restart let us know if it's working fine.

But safe side is always to pause. Directly terminating a process can hamper your data.
