'Brownie downloads solc every time I run compile

I'm using Visual Studio Code and every time I run brownie compile I get this which takes a good while (and also I can't compile without internet connection):

enter image description here

I tried installing solc with pip but I don't know if it just doesn't work or what, any help is appreciated!
