Hi,

I'm trying to install the beats plugin for logstash.  
I get the following error which I presume is because we can't access the internet:

ERROR: Something went wrong when installing logstash-input-beats, message: No route to host - SocketChannel.connect

I've seen some pages about offline installations, but that seems to use a staging server that does have access to the internet. We have no Linux servers that access the internet directly so where can I download the files from. On old releases I seem to remember we could just download a zip file and unpack it which was fine.
