Adobe flash player times out on download before installation

[thunder1945]

Have tried to download and install new Adobe flash player many times w/o success, either on my desktop (3.4 GHZ win-7 64-bit with 16 GB ram) or my laptop.  I use Norton IS, but should not be a problem.   Finally tried removing old version first, but still have same problem.  Is this common?  Can anyone help?
