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.

Hardware: ASRock 775 G31M-GS R2.0 Motherboard Intel Socket M-ATX 1333FSB (with internal audio) R700 Audio Device [Radeon HD 4000 Series]

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.
