Can't download Adobe Reader EXE/MSI manually anymore

[Cerulean]

So either I am blind and having one wack day, or Adobe is purposefully trying to get people to NOT use their product, because I ***CANNOT*** find the blasted download link. I will not and cannot use Adobe's stupid POS download manager (most of the time it doesn't even work the way it's supposed to). I have tried everything from Googling it to getting to the downloads page that initiates the Adobe Download Manager thing to find the direct link to searching through their help documents and help links on downloads page...

EDIT: The same thing with Flash and Shockwave.

Note: Adobe doesn't support third-party software, such as web browsers.

OH SO THEN WHAT AM I SUPPOSED DO USE? ADOBE WEBBROWSER?

*sigh*

I swear Adobe thinks I'm stupid.

You see, on these two help documents (which is what the download page tells you to go to if you have problems), they're like:

OH OK, SO YOU HAS SYSTEM PROBLEMS. PLZ FIX / USE DIFFERENT BROWSER / UNINSTALL + INSTALL ADOBE MANAGER...

Then...

GOOD, YOU DID THAT, NOW TRY OUR DOWNLOAD MANAGER AGAIN! HAhahahahHhaa *evil*

Rinse and repeat infinitely.

It's buried, but it's there. And if you're using IE, it might be damn near impossible to find.

You can also snag it on their FTP site. .
