This game is known for some of the worst server connections ever, most people will resolve themselves to steps 1-3 as the solutions after have a very low success rate.

Step:1 Consider the likelyhood that your only option to fix this issue is patience and determination!

Step:2 If the download stops midway, you will need to keep retrying it until it works, this can take between 3 and 20 times on average. I heard you can get lucky if you constantly restart the game until it downloads faster one time.

Step:3 Connect your Computer to a Lan line so you can connect to their crappy servers better.

Step:4 Laugh hysterically for a couple hours.

Step:5 Explore some of these technical options that could be preventing your game from downloading.
