Matt,

I assume you are dual booting, so the easiest way is to download to a
fat32 partition the RPM's.  Now boot linux, and find /mnt/windows or
whatever the fat32 partition is mounted as.  From there (as root) you
can:

rpm -Uvh rpm-file-name

for updates.  Don't do that for a new kernel though!  For that it's:

rpm -ivh kernelxxxxx
