Adobe reader X download

Hello,
I can't get adobe reader to download once I uninstalled it. It gets to 52% then freezes. I hit pause and restart, it gets to 52% again and freezes again. I started having problems with it after I tried to update it. It would not let me download anything. Kept getting the message: There is a problem with adobe reader. If it is running exit and try again. (103:103) Worked fine before the update. Someone in Adobe forum said to uninstall and reinstall it. Now I can't get it to reinstall. I really wish people would stop trying to improve things. Seems like they just make things worse when they invent something new and add it before they get all the bugs out.
