As José said, Hex will have every package you have fetched at some point cached locally so you can always fetch them again. There's currently nothing built-in to fetch *every* package on hex.pm. That would be over 10000 files and more than 600mb of data and it grows every day so I am not sure if that is something we should provide to all users built-in to hex.
If more people will be asking for this maybe we can provide a bundle we build periodically so you can download all packages as a single request.
