What is the standalone download?

I've been a Firefox beta user for some time now, so I figured I should also use the beta Flash Player, as some people recommend. That's how I arrived at the beta download page, and I see there's another choice of download besides the common installer: the "standalone" one. I'm aware of more than one meanings for that word in the context of software, but I don't know what to make of it in this case.
Can anyone help me understand? I don't mind a more technical answer (I'm a hobbyist programmer), so there's absolutely no need to over-explain.
EDIT
I've now noticed other posts mentioning this package as a binary release meant for development use - testing / debugging. Is this right? It would make sense. Does it have any other uses?

The "standalone" Flash Player download is just that - the standalone Flash Player than runs outside of a browser, as opposed to the browser plugin version that runs in a browser.
Launch the standalone player, and it opens a window that looks somewhat like a browser itself.  you can open SWFs with the standalone player, and while it will display most content the same as the browser plugin, be aware that some content does depend on the browser for loading / security / external interface.
Best,
-Jeff

  • What is the latest downloadable version for Adobe Reader 11.0.08 or 11.0.09?

    What is the latest downloadable version for Adobe Reader 11.0.08 or 11.0.09?  I saw the 11.0.09 download last Thursday 9/18/14 but no longer seeing it today 9/22/14, just the 11.0.08.  Also, after I have downloaded and expanded AdbeRdr11008_en_US.exe, I am getting AcroReader.msi that is posted date on 9/23/2012.  I need to customize the MSI file using the Adobe Customization Wizard XI for our corporate environment.  Can you direct me on where to download the latest MSI file for Adobe Reader?  Thanks.

    The latest MSI made available by Adobe is AdbeRdr11000_en_US.msi
    You can get the 11.0.09 EXE from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.09/en_US/AdbeRdr11009_en_US.exe

  • I have the Jetpack 4GLTE, what is the Mbps download and upload speeds for this device?

    I have the Jetpack 4GLTE, what is the Mbps download and upload speeds for this device?

    The avgrage real speed will be more in the area of 25 to 38 Mbps  You would need to be in a strong signal area with high grade cell tower service and low customer use to even reach 50 Mbps. 
    From Verizon page.  Just be aware that using the MiFi 6620L can cost a lot of money. And you can thank the device's fast performance for that. In my testing around the San Francisco Bay Area, rathe device delivered blazing-fast download speeds that nged between around 10Mbps to around 40Mbps. At those speeds, you can burn through 4GB of data in just less than an hour. Once you reach the cap, of course, you'll have to pay somewhere between $10 to $15 for each additional gigabyte, depending on the plan you sign up for.

    I wish I understood your question. Software is downloaded from the Internet, so I have no idea what you are asking. You can't download the Internet.

  • What should the WIFI download spped of the ipad be?

    What should the WIFI download speed of the ipad be?

    I'm running a 12 MGPS DSL connection and get pretty much the same download performance on all devices. Upload speeds seem to favor the Mac Book, but only slightly.
    But obviously this would be impacted by a number of factors, including the somewhat less powerful reciever on the iPad compared to the laptop.
    At any rate, speed on the iPad is more than adequate.

  • IPOD 120 Classic:  What is the latest download Version?

    I want to make sure I'm kept up to date on my Ipod 120 Classic. What is the latest version download? I'm not sure what current version I have. Do I get the latest version on Itunes?

    Do I get the latest version on Itunes?
    Yes. Software updates for the iPod classic aren't available as standalone downloads, and iTunes will tell you if there's an update.

  • What does the (-7) Download Error mean?

    Trying to install Adobe Scout on a Windows 7 64-bit machine via the free Gaming SDK CC account. When attempting to download it errors out with a (-7). Although I can contact customer support, in the meantime I was wondering what (-7) means since a search of:
    http://forums.adobe.com/community/download_install_setup/creative_cloud_faq
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-creative-cloud-installation-download .html
    Google
    Doesn't seem to pull up anything specific about it.
    Thanks!

    Hi Jeff,
    I'm helping a client of mine. He's on a managed corporate network. As far as I know he's on Windows 7 64-bit. That being said:
    1. Do you have a link to information on how to upgrade the Creative Cloud application? (FYI, he's starting from scratch via Adobe Scout CC and the free Gaming SDK so I would assume that an upgrade would be unnecessary)
    2. If you are on a managed network, what are the limitations? For instance which ports need to be opened in the firewall for the Creative Cloud application manager to work? What are the other issues that can be encountered?
    3. If it is an issue due to being a managed corporate network, what is the alternative install process for Adobe Scout CC?
    Thanks!

  • What is the minimum download speed required for iTunes Match streaming

    I have been very interested by iTunes Match, and I have read much about it.  The only thing that I have not been able to find is the minimum bandwidth required to stream music to an iPhone.  Specifically, I would be looking to stream to an iPhone 5, as well as an iPhone 4.  If there is an official minimum requirement, please let me know.  If there is no apple specified speed, I would be interested in what you found to be he minimum speed necessary for smooth streaming.
    Thanks,

    iPhone 4 and 5 will both work well with a good 3G service and much better with 4G.  Song file is actually downloaded to allow for all conditions of viable mobile signal.

  • What does the update download error message "there was an error downloading this update" mean?

    Trying to download and install updates to CS5.  Everything looked normal, got the progress bars for downloading and installing the updates.  Then at the very end received message that the update failed to install because there was an error downloading the update. This has happened repeatedly. Just completed a clean install of the OS (Win 8.1) and CS5. Appears the update manager created the required folders. A subfolder for each of the CS5 apps was created in the  AAMupdater folder.  Each of the apps had a subfolder, but contained only a XML file.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

    do you have any security/firewall programs blocking the adobe updater?
    could also try to download the updates directly from the website. Adobe - Premiere Pro Updates

  • What is the direct download link for iTunes 11.4 32 Bit for Windows?

    Everytime I click to download itunes from the main page (www.apple.com/itunes/download) , the download doesn't start, just brings me to the thank you downloading page after clicking DOWNLOAD ITUNES NOW button. But if i get the direct link, i could enter it into my address bar, the download would initiate. Does anyone know how to fix this on either my computer, or simply know the address where it is located so I could get iTunes 11.4 for my ipad mini with IOS 8.0.2 on it?

    Sorry it doesn't download in 15 min.  I'm on a slow connection (5Mbit).
    If I have a direct link I can get it with a download manager in about 4 hours for a 5GB download.
    iTunes and app store takes 2 days because the bandwidth is throttled to 10% of the available bandwidth by osx.  App store and iTunes will time out and it is impossible to recover/resume downloads with apple software - apple forces you to download from the beginning after it times out.
    Apple software for OSX and IOS are terrible for downloading large files on a slow network connection.  I don't think its reasonable to have to leave a computer running 24-48 hours to download something that can be downloaded in 4 hours.
