You mean, your Ubuntu box is not connected to internet and you want to
download the packages from a different machine, which is connected ?

You could just connect to the Ubuntu package repository at
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/ or use an FTP client, and just
get copy the packages you want onto your CD/USB stick/whatever.

Then once back on your Ubuntu machine, you can install the packages with
this command: "sudo dpkg -i package-name.deb"

HTH
