"aptitude install tshark", or if you really want to only download and
not install tshark, "aptitude -d install tshark", see the aptitude
manpage:

,----
|  -d, --download-only
|      Download packages to the package cache as necessary, but do not
|      install or remove anything. By default, the package cache is
|      stored in /var/cache/apt/archives.
