Shockwave standalone installers ("alternates") no longeravailable?

[paintedger]

The situation is basically one where I can still easily download the standalone
alternates for Flash Player, but I cannot for Shockwave player. I'd write Adobe
about this but they have no e-mail, and seemingly no way to contact them about
this issue. I did write their webmaster however.

For example, here's the page for flash player:
[url]http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14266&sliceId=1[/url]

The pages for the Shockwave alternates no longer worked as of yesterday but
today they fixed the page.
[url]http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/#sp[/url]

However when I go to the page, I want to download the Internet Explorer full
version of Shockwave player while in Firefox. It just redirects me to the Get
Shockwave page instead of giving me the actual download.

All I'm trying to do is download -- while in firefox -- the IE version of
Shockwave 11 as a standalone installer, instead of having to install Shockwave
from in Internet Explorer. Am I missing something here?

Thanks guys

I'm pretty sure there's no difference between the IE and Netscape
variants of the installers. Try:
