      Hello, all!

      I'm wondering, is there a way to manually download and install the packages that are available through the WebGui package manager?

      The internet here is insanely slow, and I've been trying literally the entire day to install Squid… I found where to download it (http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/), but am unsure about how to correctly install it so that it shows up in the WebGui. Downloading it manually will take a while, but once I have it I can reinstall it whenever I need, and the install shouldn't take so long that the webpage showing the installation status would stop responding.

      Thanks!

          Thanks for the reply!

          That's too bad… Sounds like there's no way to do it locally and have it show up in the Gui.

          Well, at least there's a way to do it through SSH rather than the WebGui... That'll likely be more reliable.

          Thanks for the link!
