Large PKGs (over about 4MB) don't download and install "on the fly" very well.
I'd shell into the Qube (SSH or telnet) and use something like wget to put
the PKG file in the /home/packages directory. Then when you go to the admin
GUI, choose "Install Manually" - a list of all the PKGs in /home/packages
will appear. Pick the one you want to install...
