I have had exactly the same problem - I'm currently getting hicotane
and MCII off ftp.mechlab.com or whatever and hoping the same thing
doesn't happen.

I mailed ea support and they replied about 2 weeks later telling me
that their demos have been downloaded close to 11000 times, and only 3
people have written with probs.  They also told me to check my modem
settings.  Bollocks..

I was able to get the Fade To Black demo out of the very same
directory with _no_ probs whatsoever.  Something's weird.
