Check this site out: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ 
You can download .deb's of whatever software you want, and it will also
inform you of anything that the package depends on, so you can download
that too, if you need it. 

Just as a warning, you can rapidly descend into 'dependency hell' trying
to do it this way, depending on what you want to install. one way you
can ease the hassle of this is using Synaptic's 'generate package
download script' tool.  you can go through synaptic, find the software
you want, check it to install (ignore the fact that you don't have
internet for a moment), then go to:
    "File > Generate Package Download Script". 
This will put a .sh file in your home folder that could (on a linux
system) be used to download your desired software, and it's required
dependencies. All you need to do then is look in that file, find the
package names that it would have had to download, and search
for/download them from http://packages.ubuntu.com/ under whichever
Ubuntu version you're using(hardy,intrepid,jaunty,etc). then you wont
have to worry about dependencies, as Synaptic already checked them for
you.

Hope that helps!
