I don't know if this is related, but a couple weeks ago I tried to download
the installation file (~15MB) via my home dial-up, and it always just quit
when about 75% done. I finally had to get it from my work intranet instead.
I was not using the Adobe Download Manager but I was trying to get it
directly from the Adobe site.

You should be able to remove the Adobe Download Manager from Add/Remove
program. I've always felt that just gets in the way of simply downloading
stuff.
