Wait two weeks? I have a theory about your problem. That's all it is right now - a theory - but here goes. I ran into a similar problem this week, when installing the Breeze Meeting add-in during a class. When attempting to install it from the Adobe site, I got frequent time-outs, including the "connecting" screen. My suspicion is that it's caused by the big network/DNS shuffle as Macromedia gets absorbed into Adobe. I tried again after a few hours, and some machines that didn't connect previously, could then connect.
