[Bug 348746] [NEW] Download freezes: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz

[LasseL]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: flashplugin-nonfree

Download consistently freezes at about 10-12%
I have no problems downloading anything else.
I get the same problem in firefox and wget as well, so it must be the file.
If adobe can't host it on a working webserver, maybe you should include it in your own repositories.

I had the problem for several weeks and it significantly degrades my web
browsing as many pages uses flash in useful ways (or at least my kids
think so).
