    ‘Generate package download script’ option in Synaptic

    apt-offline

    apt-offline can be used to generate a signature on a machine (with no network). This signature contains all download information required for the apt database system. This signature file can be used on another machine connected to the internet (which need not be a Debian box and can even be running windows) to download the updates

    Also another good option is the Ubuntu Live DVD, It has a good number of the packages you will need under the Pool folder of the DVD. Of course it is limited, but if you need something quick without running it down, this may be a good option for you. I keep a current LTS (10.04) copy of Ubuntu just for this purpose, also I have seen people put them on there thumb drives just in case.
