As Santhosh has said there is an option to '*Generate package download
script*' in the '*File*' menu inside Synaptic.
This outputs a script file which downloads all the marked packages using
wget.
I have used this a couple of times and it works.
As Dennis has pointed out above *apt-get install --print-uris [package
names]* will give you the path to the packages.

Ajith Sen
