I am trying to use Julia on SageMathCloud. They have recently installed a
whole bunch of packages system wide, so that they are available in all
projects without having to install them locally. However, when I try to
use a package from one of their free projects, there is a problem. Free
projects by default do not have internet access. When loading a Julia
package, for example
using Gadfly
the package will be recompiled, and then Julia tries to go to github and
download METADATA.jl, which takes for ever before it times out. Then,
probably because of the missing metadata, some other errors are reported.
Finally, the package gets loaded and can be used. The messages are as
follows:

Does Julia really need internet access just to load a package? Is there
any way to work around it?
