These days Im installing Ubuntu 9.04 on a lot of comps. But the problem is
my broadband connection charges is proportional to the amount of MB I
download. Thus I have to download the same program again and again from the
internet for each installation. For example, VideoLAN offers no .deb package
for Debian/ Ubuntu on its website which I can download once and install on
different computers.

I like synaptic package manger in Ubuntu and the concept of packages in
Linux. But its very difficult to find the installation file which it
downloads from the internet which it uses subsequently to configure the
given program. Is there any way to locate the installation file (eg .deb
file) through synaptic package manger so that I dont have to download the
same file again and again.
