As Curt wrote, it seems that you can not write the output file.

To verify that it is not network related:

"wget 
http://people.debian.org/~bartm/flashplugin-nonfree/fp10.sha512.amd64.pgp.asc"; 
tries tio fetch and write to file, which does not work, as you tried before.

"wget 
http://people.debian.org/~bartm/flashplugin-nonfree/fp10.sha512.amd64.pgp.asc 
-O -" will try to fetch the file and print it to standard output, so 
that you see it on screen. I expect that to work without problems.

Is this a special setup with special write permissions?

My interpretation is that the installation scripts fails to write a file 
that it wants to save to disc for later use.
