You can download the plugin manually. For i396 it's;
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/pdc/11.2.202.429/install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz

Replace '11.2.202.429' with the version you want. And maybe 'http' with 
'https'.

I don't have Flash on my new Jessie box. I don't miss it.
