Maybe it's just really slow? or maybe the torrent has more hosts than adobe flash player?

how far away is the wired computer to the router though? it could be the fact that it's futher away and so it takes more time to download? 
try speedtest.net as well

It doesnt matter how far away the wired is though because its wired, and has the same connection strength how far away it is.
Website doesnt work as it says:
Speedtest.net requires at least version 7 of Flash. Please update your client.
=p

pfft, sods law...
Pfft, well, im not quite sure. Are other things downloaded the usual speed?

Oz Broadband Speed Test doesn't need Flash Player, but it does need javascript.
Also, the speed of a wired connection doesn't decrease as cable lenght increases, but there are maximum cable lengths for ethernet, so it does matter how far away it is.

If the torrents are going at a decent speed, then it's likely nothing to do with the connection.
I'm confused a bit by that, because it works on another computer, but I'm fairly sure Flash was downloading slow as hell for me too (I was installing it on my linux box, the licence agreement in firefox took too long to download so I gave up, it was loading in ~50 character chunks).
Try and find flash player on bittorrent

Here you got a mirror of the latest version of Flash for Mozilla, Opera, etc.

The requested URL /tiny/install_flash_player.exe was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Try using FlashGet to download the flash player. That program will automatically search for mirrors based on filename and size will connect to the mirror sites to. It can connect to a maximum of 60 sites at a time.
