Download Timeout at 12% when downloading Adobe Flash Player

Lots of us have been through this and tried all possible resolutions found on Google. Here's one which might help you guys

The new Flash player download uses the download manager to install the player and for reasons unknown it works on some while fails on other computers.

Instead of following the prompt to install Flash Player, use the following link:

http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

This link installs the player without using any ActiveX components

cheers!!!!
