That is not what I said. I simply stated that you need to undergo computnig courses to be able to understandthe technology you are using, as you seem to have fallen prey to Microsofts "point and click, its simple" advertising.

You have relied on a 3rd party (Steam) for your content delivery, which creates its own unique registry entries, installs the game in a unique location, and has an software overlay to the game, and you complain about how its a problem with ME2?

Try this then. Uninstall ME2 that has been delivered by Steam. Register you ME2 product key with EA's Origins download service and install that way. Then try and install your DLC. When I say install, I mean save the file to your local drive, and then run it from there, instead of attempting to run it from the web.

A simple fact to report is that the downloader system is garbage, and BioWare compounds the problem for PC users by offering no in-game interface displaying which dlc is actually installed. If you downloaded the game from Steam, you get additional issues. In short, you may not be having a problem, but merely being tortured by the program's regular operation. You need patience and a lot of time to install major dlc.

It's not garbage. Not as user-friendly as it could be, but it generally works. Patience? Sounds like you should take your own advice. People (well, one person so far) are trying to help you and you get all crazy-eyed on us. Step away from the toxic fruits and let us reason through this...

I have high-speed cable Internet. I was able to download the game from Steam in under two hours. Downloading the dlc is taking me three hours and counting.

A few times, I thought the dl had frozen, when in fact it was just moving as slow as molasses. The "verifying" stage can take well over 15 minutes.. There can also be a long (over 10 minutes) lag between the download completing and the ME2 installation wizard opening up. Extraction is yet another lag feast.

Something's definitely "rotten on the Normandy" then, because it sounds like you're not doing it right. I agree with Bogsnot1 here.

Large addons (quests rather than weapon packs) tend to crash out or freeze up if two or more are downloaded at the same time. Try going one-by-one. Be prepared to sit there and wait for multiple prompts.

I have no technical insights, just the context that you are working on server-side junky bandwith and an unstable program that offers little to no user feedback. Some faith is required.

Downloading a couple-dozen MBs of DLC definitely shouldn't take that long if you got the entire game in a couple of hours. I say check the method in your case, not the source.

Alienating the free help won't get you anywhere. What gives?
