You can also manually do it by going here (http://packages.ubuntu.com/) and searching for the package.

You can download and separately install packages with the below commands:

sudo apt-get --download-only install someprogramname


To install them, copy them to the same location on your target system, and issue the command

sudo apt-get install someprogramname _or_ if the repositories on the target machine is not updated then,
sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb
