Because of the network is not very stable, every time the "./gradlew localDistro" command reaches the downloading of ml-cpp-8.2.0-SNAPSHOT.zip,it will fail after long download before finish.  
I have downloaded the package from browser, then how to skip download it while compile it by gradle

Try

```auto
./gradlew --offline localDistro

```

That used to work, but I haven't tried recently.

Thanks for your reply, It seems a way which I don't know.

I downloaded the package, but I don't know where to local the package for offline.  
And how about the other package which not downloaded yet if I use this command.
