Direct download Magento Extension without PEAR

Question

I'm facing SSL issues while installing extensions from magento connect. Woul like to know the possibilities to install the extensions without the manager as a quick solution?

Answer 1

You can install the extension through FTP (like FileZilla). You can paste the extension key in this unofficial link and you can download the extension files.

This is unofficial 3rd party site, there is no guarantee about security. but i tested many extensions, i did't faced any security problems....
