There are 3 major sources:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/
http://packages.debian.org/
http://www.getdeb.net/

You can try Wubdepends (http://wubdepends.sourceforge.net/).

I see this post is old, but it helped me - I am downloading webdepends right now.

My problem is I only have wireless here and cannot get my wireless card working. If I can download the .debs I need, they can be saved to a flash drive, then installed on my REAL computer.

I hope this works so I CAN get internet on my Ubuntu Desktop. Plus it's a huge beast that does not enjoy getting lugged around looking for a wired connection...

apt-offline can also download packages in windows.

but you first need to generate a signature on a linuxbox
