Eclipse Helios 3.6.0 hangs while installing Egit


I am trying to install Egit on my eclipse using market place.

The problem i am facing is that the installation gets stuck at 49%. I waited for almost 2 hours yesterday but still the installation did not happen. Has anyone faced any such problems before?

Is there a manual way i can install Egit. i.e. by downloading a package and then installing. I am using windows 7 machine.

Can anyone please guide me on this issue?

P.s: I have gone through the previous asked questions, and i do not have many other sites being used as download pages.(So it is not slow due to loading of many sites)
