How to download .deb files manually

[jestinjoy]

Hi,

Is there a way(any specific tool) so that I could download the files needed for installation(All the files including dependencies) so that I could use them for later use.

I could copy from archives folder of apt, but couldn't run it if I have already installed the software.

You can download the packages manually from this link (http://packages.ubuntu.com/)

Is there any tool, that could download all the packages automatically, so that I could use it later.

You can use Firefox extension Downloadthemall (http://www.downthemall.net/)

You can use downloadthemall (http://www.downthemall.net/) to download all files.

See the "-d" option for apt-get. It might be what you are looking for.

i think we are misunderstanding our friend..firefox's downthemall is not the exact solution to this problem...he is asking installing .deb files without using console. like installing .exe files

am i right?

Is there a way so that I could download the files directly to the desktop. I mean can I specify the destination folder with this.;)
