Installing Macromedia Flash player 8 Trouble

Correct me if I'm wrong but Ebay is now using flash player 8 to allow me to write HTML in my ebay ads to create a link. When I tried to download macromedias flash player 8 it loads super fast until there are 4 items left and it slows down and never completes the download. Question:
1.) Is there another way to write HTML on ebay without there recommended Flash 8 download?
2.) How do I get Flash 8 to complete the download?
Thanks!

It's strange because I don't have Netscape for OS X intalled and have never had your problem. Good computing.

Do you have IE?

No. My error since I just checked at the Netscape website and see that there is no such animal. However, Netscape isn't on my machine. Cheers.

What did you check for at Netscape that doesn't exist? That's odd that you have neither Netscape or IE on your machine and that is what helped fix mine.

http://browser.netscape.com/ns8/ shows Mac OS X Version—Not Yet Available and I have IE 5.2.3 installed, but hardly use it.

Ah! That's what I get for not checking out the rest of the stuff on that page. So, I guess my ancient memory did recall there being an OS X Netscape version, just not version 8. Thanks.

Try using the uninstaller program you can get from the Macromedia website then attempt to install again

I downloaded the uninstaller, but it hangs up and doesn't complete uninstalling

Do you have IE on your computer, I needed to install IE to get it to work.
