There is also a -d option for apt-get but I don't know where the package gets saved, the man page doesn't specify (aptitude saves it to the current dir).Regards, Andrei
There's nothing wrong with 'aptitude download', but there was something wrong with me: I didn't know about that. Sorry.
The "-d" option to apt-get downloads to /var/cache/apt/archivesSo you can download to that directory and just copy the .deb to your current directory.
