Flash 10.2 (for other browsers) Taking ages to download

linktoinsanity · 16 Apr 2011 at 19:49

I'm having an odd problem where Flash 10.2 for other browsers won't download at all in IE9 and takes a while in Firefox 3 (not getting 4 atm). currently at 27 minutes for a 2.7MB file. What's going on here? The IE version downloaded instantly. :confused:

Wait another hour or so. I can't download Flash for any version at all unless it's in the wee hours of the morning. It trickles along at a few kbs at other times.

Bt, and quite a few other isps, for some inexplicable reason, throttle that 2.7MB download.

It never made any sense to me 5 years ago and it still doesn't but these days it can only (fingers crossed) contribute to flashes overdue demise.

I don't think it's BT though. It's a tiny file and I've always been on unlimited connections. I think it's something at Adobe's end.

I've had this before also, why are there no mirrors for this file?

I guess we haven't yet established whether the OP is actually on BT broadband, but if that is the case then it may have been going on for quite a while (clip uploaded Jan 2010):

Downloaded a 10.3 beta as linked by Bledd (in Steam, chers bud).
