Some time ago I found this script to download the nuget Packages to you local server. Just for a reference I’ll put it the blog. They way I run this is using the Windows Powershell ISE.
I don’t remember where I got the link from. But I do know when. That was when nuget was out and I had no way of retrieving missing packages. Since then, I run this script to our local NAS from time to time.
