OK for those of us with EA's Digital Download know that the backup system is riddled with problems.

My particular issue is that even though I tell Origin to keep the installer after download it never does and EA's tech support solution was to have me redownload and hope it saved it next time...that didn't work.

But I've recently found that some people do get their installers to stay but have other issues with getting their digital
download to backup. So I was hoping to try and cobble together a solution and see if someone can send me an installer file for Dragon Age 2, Dragon Age: Origins and/or Mass Effect 2.

This is the installer file only, the file that should be 2-3 MB and will auto delete on download completion unless you find a way to save it (which I haven't been able to do) and if there is any doubt that I have those games you can look under my avatar and see I do have each of those games registered with BioWare.

Or if any of you found a way to backup the games successfully I would be very, very interested in finding out how.  For DA:Origins sake alone! That is a 27GB monster to download each time!

Thank you to anyone with any info!

The only thing I can think of off the top of my head, is once the downloads have finished, and the install begins and starts asking you questions, is to either stop what you are doing, alt-tab out and browse to the downloaded file locations, and manually copy them to another location on your drive, before resuming the install procedure.

That worked, I was almost done with my latest download of DA:O and for once I was able to snag the installer file. Thanks for the advice!
