Overview
EA Download Manager is a software program developed by Electronic Arts. The most common release is 5.0.0.255, with over 98% of all installations currently using this version. During setup, the program creates a startup registration point in Windows in order to automatically start when any user boots the PC. A scheduled task is added to Windows Task Scheduler in order to launch the program at various scheduled times (the schedule varies depending on the version). The software is designed to connect to the Internet and adds a Windows Firewall exception in order to do so without being interfered with. The primary executable is named core.exe. The setup package generally installs about 39 files and is usually about 7.9 MB (8,284,842 bytes). The program is built using the Nokia Qt cross-platforms native C++ framework. Relative to the overall usage of users who have this installed on their PCs, most are running Windows 7 (SP1) and Windows 10. While about 42% of users of EA Download Manager come from the United States, it is also popular in Germany and France.
