Adobe Flash Won't Download - Freezes Apt-get

[Joshuwa]

Hi,

I tried to install the Flash player from the Adobe website, but for one reason or the other, it won't download - seems more like a server issue on their end than something on mine (all other downloads work great).

So then I tried to install it via apt-get, but the same thing occurs. It attempts to download, and then gets stuck at that stage.

I ctrl-c to stop it, and go about other things. But I notice any time I use apt-get to install *anything*, it re-attempts to install flash player in the process, again freezing it up.

So two questions, I suppose:

1) How can I get apt-get to stop trying to finish this, and
2) Is there any other ways to reliably install the flash player?

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.

You may have the same problem.

No. I believe that the url is incorrect asking you to go to

apt:adobe-flashplugin?channel=$distro-partner

I am finding it hard to notify adobe of the mistake or ask if it is.
