[Qgis-user] plugin installer with unstable internet connections

[Andreas Neumann]

 You can have your own local plugin repository in your LAN using a local 
 webserver.

 All you need to have is a folder with a file plugins.xml pointing to 
 the zip-file containing the plugins. Have a look at the sourcecode of 
 the XML file that are used by the other repositories. It is really easy 
 to do.

 Alternatively, you can move the plug-ins by hand into the python 
 plug-ins directory without the need for a repository at all. The 
 location depends on the platform and there is a distinction between 
 machine-wide plugins and user plugins only visible by a certain user.

 I believe the manual describes quite a bit about plugins installation 
 and contains a pointer to the locations the python plugins are located.
