I assumed this was a problem with Adobe flash (all versions),
but on the Mageia system I also have installed in the same machine
there's no problem at all : downloading goes much faster & completes
& the movies -- news or historical -- are shown in full.
In both systems, the binary is /usr/bin/flash-player-properties ;
Gentoo has /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
& /etc/adobe/mms.cfg (which seems to be all about security),
both of which are absent or installed elsewhere by Mageia.
Can anyone suggest what's going wrong with Adobe flash on Gentoo ?
Can you reproduce the problem with Google's version of Flash? (It's
bundled with Google Chrome.)
