I'm trying to download the player... but the link is wrong or the server down.
Just that.

I can confirm that from California the link doesn't work.

Especially annoying because this seems to break the Express Install updater as well...

i have exactly the same problem with the same file.

i am located in the UK.

This is weird, because I have had this problem for a few weeks at home, but in
the meantime have managed to install flash player on some machines at my
office. I use firefox at both locations.

I've been trying for two days after a re-install to get it for Firefox with 404 errors aplenty. The IE plugin downloaded fine, but I just cannot get the Firefox at all.

Thanks for the info. We're researching a possible problem with the
servers and this geographic info is helpful..

Yeah, I have been having this problem for the past 2-3 days. The download page
for firefox comes up, but the download link itself is non-existant. I'm in
Phoenix, Az and tried last night at midnight, and just now at 2pm on 4/26.
This has gotta be a simple one for IT to find.

Hi,

Sould like i'm having the same problem. I'm tryingto download flash for
firefox, yet the link sends me to a incorrect address and the download fails..
I'm in the Uk.. and have been having this problem for the last few days..
Any idea of when this will be fixed - or of any other location where the flash
player can be downloaded from..?
cheers,
pete.

This is getting very annoying.

I've just found this mirror site, it's got flash player version 8.0.22.0, which
isn't quite the latest but it's close and the links actually work.

My apologies if this is against the ToS or anything, but I figure it's better
than the nothing at all which is there at the moment.
