1. Ensure flashplugin-installer is not installed yet (so I use "apt-get remove" to remove it). 2. Install it with "apt-get install flashplugin-installer". 3. When it's downloading "adobe-flashplugin_xx.xx.xx.orig.tar.gz" with wget, try Ctrl-C (hope your network speed is not that fast so that you have a chance to press Ctrl-C before it finishes downloading).
In fact, this bug is annoying to those users behind a firewall. When he/she doesn't set a proxy correctly for wget, the wget will be stuck there retrying connections, and Ctrl-C doesn't work here.
