title: Where does pip download .whl files?
body: <p>I'd like to install a certain python package with pip but because of the proxy I am sitting behind pip cannot connect to the internet.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is: Where does pip look for .whl files in order to download them? Can't I just use my browser (which can connect to the internet just fine) to download the .whl file? <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27885397/how-do-i-install-a-python-package-with-a-whl-file">Installing the package with the downloaded .whl file</a> would be not a problem then.</p>
