This will download the tarball from Launchpad (as shown in the previous comments), put it in the /tmp folder and install it afterwards. Basically, it will do what flashplugin-installer does. You might have to restart your browser(s) afterwards.
I don't really understand why the regular process hangs, because clicking the download link from the terminal (the tarball it never seems to download), does result in my browser being able to access the link without any problems.
In order to get it working again, paste the following in your terminal and press Enter:
cd /tmp && wget https:/ /launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +archive/ partner/ +files/ adobe-flashplug in_11.2. 202.243. orig.tar. gz && sudo /usr/lib/ flashplugin- installer/ install_ plugin /tmp/adobe- flashplugin_ 11.2.202. 243.orig. tar.gz
