Best practice is to install it manually. That's to keep control and check, whether the extension is ok without breaking your shop installation. There are two ways to do it.
Either you go to freegento.com/ddl-magento-extension.php and enter the extension key from Magento Connect. As result, you get a download link for your module.
Or you use mage, a shell provided by Magento.
Got to the root of your test store
orion:~ user$ cd /Users/user/dev/magento/latest
If you use it the first time, you need to adapt the permissions
orion:~ user$ chmod 550 mage orion:~ user$ ./mage Connect commands available: =========================== channel-add Add a Channel channel-alias Specify an alias to a channel name channel-delete Remove a Channel From the List channel-info Retrieve Information on a Channel channel-login Connects and authenticates to remote channel server channel-logout Logs out from the remote channel server clear-cache Clear Web Services Cache config-get Show One Setting config-help Show Information About Setting config-set Change Setting config-show Show All Settings convert Convert old magento PEAR package to new format download Download Package info Display information about a package install Install Package install-file Install Package Archive File list-available List Available Packages list-channels List Available Channels list-files List Files In Installed Package list-installed List Installed Packages In The Default Channel list-upgrades List Available Upgrades package Build Package package-dependencies Show package dependencies package-prepare Show installation information of package sync Synchronize Manually Installed Packages sync-pear Synchronize already Installed Packages by pear uninstall Un-install Package upgrade Upgrade Package upgrade-all Upgrade All Packages
Now you can download your extension, like
orion:~ user$ ./mage install http://connect20.magentocommerce.com/community extension_name
