I tried again. It still sometimes works. $ host fpdownload.macromedia.com fpdownload.macromedia.com is an alias for fpdownload-marc.wip3.adobe.com. fpdownload-marc.wip3.adobe.com is an alias for fpdownload.macromedia.com.edgekey.net. fpdownload.macromedia.com.edgekey.net is an alias for e526.d.akamaiedge.net. e526.d.akamaiedge.net has address 84.53.150.70
This link seems to work better: http://fpdownload.macromedia.com.edgekey.net/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player_7_linux.tar.gz So, a workaround is to download the plugin with this link or with one of the other aliases, and then install flashplugin-nonfree from "local file". Maybe the solution is to modify update-flashplugin to try all aliases repeatedly in a loop with some sleep time in between and ask the user to confirm to try again. On the other hand, this should not be necessary. I hope that Adobe/Macromedia fixes this problem at the download site.
