Can't download/install Flash Player 10

Guys,
I'm running IE8 on Windows 7 Pro x64 and I am having trouble downloading flash player. I am trying to directly download from the following link: http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe as the abobe DLM freezes at a very small download completion rate (under 1%). The download begins but at a VERY slow tranfer rate of between 55 bytes/s and 400 bytes/s ...but never actually completes, even after hours.
There are no issues with my internet connection; I am able to download files from other sites at regular speed. I have tried disabling my firewall/AV while attempting the download, which had no effect.
This is a very strange issue as I have, in the past, been able to successfully download the active x control directly from the link provided (having tried and failed to install FP via adobe DLM) and there was no issue whatsoever - that time was my first clean install of Windows 7, this being my second.
Is there an issue with the adobe site server? I have spent ages looking for an alternate location from which to download flash player but have not found anything suitable and/or trustworthy.
Any assistance that anyone could offer would be very much appreciated,
Navster

Thanks for your response.
Just to clarify, I am using 32 bit IE8 under 64 bit Win7 Pro.
And just to re-stress the point; I am having trouble downloading flash player from the direct link to the activeX exe - I have not even got to the point where I can install it yet!
Regards,

    This is my first Mac and I'm not convinced of them.....nah, I just need a shove in the right direction.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

    Is this a problem with the DOWNLOAD or with the INSTALLATION? You should be able to download with Safari open but you do have to quit Safari in able to install. Try downloading the dmg file, restart with no apps open and then trying to install Flash Player.

    Need instructions for downloading/installing Flash Player in my PC

    Hi, This is the Adobe Flash Player Uninstall link:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/141/tn_14157.html
    This is the Adobe Troubleshooting Guide which you may want also to review. I would suggest using the Manual Installers which you can download and SAVE to your Desktop. Pay attention to any apps using Flash, you may need to Disable any Anti-Virus. Be sure to use the Administrator Account and check Settings. Be sure to Reboot after running the Uninstaller and also after Installing.

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    All the versions of Adobe Flash Player are available here : Archived Flash Player
    You will get a .zip file, extract and then run the .dmg file
    Note : You might need to use Flash Player uninstaller to remove the latest version of Adobe Flash Player

  • Trouble downloading/installing Flash Player

    I'm trying to download/install Flash player & it's not working.  After the initial download, the window pops up showing the progress, however it stops between 7% & 9%, saying underneath the progress bar: lost connection.  trying to reconnect.   No matter how many times I've tried it, it does the same thing.  I've also tried to download Flash player from another site (not Adobe.com) & windows won't recognize it... please help!

    Download & run the offline installer(s):
    Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
    Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
    Flash Player (Mac OS X)

    Can I download adobe flash player on iPad 3 ,is it supported?

    There is no Adobe Flash Player for iOS.

  • Can I download Adobe Flash Player on New iPad

    Can I download Adobe Flash Player on New iPad?

    No, flash is not supported on the iPad - and as Adobe have announced that they are stopping development on all mobile versions of it, it probably never will be.
    Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter, Puffin and Photon 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store.
    If you do a search on this forum you will find hundreds of other threads on the subject.

  • I can't download Adobe flash player, and it keeps telling me to. Is there anything else to use besides Adobe flash player.

    I can't download Adobe flash player, and it keeps telling me to, especially to watch videos, is there anything else to use besides Adobe flash player?

    You would download Flash from here http://www.adobe.com/go/EN_US-H-GET-FLASH however if your running an old version of Mac OS X say 10.5.8 or earlier then you cannot run the current version of Flash which is 11.3
    Remember you not only have to download Flash but you have to run the installer.
    Some websites that use Flash might tell your computer the site needs a specific minimum version of Flash and as above if your running too old a version of Mac OS X then you will not be able to run a new enough version of Flash.
