I'm trying to use Homebrew to install wget, but something is happening where the download is always corrupt. This happens for all packages, not just wget. I can download the tar.gz fine through a browser. Can I use Homebrew to install a locally downloaded archive? Something such as:
brew install wget-1.14.tar.gz

If Homebrew already has a formula for it (in /usr/local/Library/Formula), and you have the exact archive that the formula expects (i.e. same file name and same contents, as determined by SHA1 or whatever hash type the formula uses), you can put the archive in ~/Library/Caches/Homebrew and then try
brew install formula_name(substituting the correct name for formula_name, of course).
