Haven't tried the latest, but it has happened here too in the past.

I recall following pretty much what you've done to resolve this problem 
(except for the replicator thing).  I seem to recall that on one occasion I 
had to try again the next day to get it to work, because I did not want to 
risk it with manifest-ing a dodgy download.

I guess you could try downloading it manually directly from adobe?
