It has already been pointed out that -d/--download-only is the correct
option to pass to apt-get in order to keep apt-get from installing
retrieved Debian packages.

You have not explained why you want to do this, but you might want to
take a look at debget which fetches Debian packages from the mirrors
and places them in the current working directory.

debget is shipped in the debget or debian-goodies packages and the
latter contains a couple of other tools you might find useful.
