You can get the file manually from Adobe site and drop it into the
plugins folder.
Flash Player is just one "*.so" file that you can fetch from whatever
location you prefer (some people like keep the flash plugin in sync with
repo updates and use "non-free" but I prefer to use Adobe's own file,
from my POV is easier to manage).
