To be frank, this page is useless:
Clicking download causes Ubuntu Software Centre to be launched which reports file not found.
Frustrating. So how can I get a direct file download of the flash player?
I would like this as I'm having the video playing too fast problem see by a few others around here and elsewhere and the alternative flash may solve the issue.

Remove the alternative plugin first
apt-get remove flashplugin-installer You can download the adobe flash plugin directly from here (64 bit version) type at the terminal:
wget -c or (32 bit version)
wget -c To install
sudo dpkg -i adobe-flashplugin* Alternatively, you can enable in Software Center under Edit -> Software Sources... -> Other Software Tab, and select Canonical Partners. Then you can search and install it.
