How do I Install Flash Player 10 without Adobe Download Manager?

The important bit is to not allow the download manager (Adobe DLM) to run, but instead click the link where it says 'If it does not start, click here to download'.


Firefox http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe

Internet Explorer http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_ax.exe

*Note: Just add _ax to the file name and it will download the activex version for Internet Explorer.


Use Adobe's public ftp site to download without the download manager DLM

For example, flash is here

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/flash/

and acrobat reader is here

ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobatreader/

Then simply choose version and operating system to get to the actual files
