[solved] Manually retrieve packages from repository?

[doctordruidphd]

How does one manually download a package from a repository?
By which I mean, using "save link as..." from a browser, bypassing the apt system altogether.
Reason: apt is refusing a download, for what I think is a bogus reason.
Yes, I know the risks; that's what nightly backups are for...

Yes, you can download packages from the repositories

ubuntu main: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

Pool has the packages: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/

Dists has the package index files for the different versions: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/


> Ubuntu packages

This site provides you with information about all the packages available in the Ubuntu Package archive.
