Download all packages and them move them to home

To have an up to date system you need to periodically sync the DBs and get fresh versions of the packages you have installed on your Arch.
"Offline update" is a misnomer because you have to sync and download so you need some sort of internet connection. You may do this at work and bring the new packages home.

So you advice me I downlaod DB packages from these links
* ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/i686/core.db.tar.gz
* ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/extra.db.tar.gz
* ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/i6 … .db.tar.gz
* ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/multilib/os/i68 … .db.tar.gz
and move them to home and run this command again

 rm -r /var/lib/pacman/sync/{core,extra,community}
mkdir -p /var/lib/pacman/sync/{core,extra,community}
rm -r /var/lib/pacman/sync/{core,extra,community}/*
tar -xzf core.db.tar.gz      -C /var/lib/pacman/sync/core
tar -xzf extra.db.tar.gz     -C /var/lib/pacman/sync/extra
tar -xzf community.db.tar.gz -C /var/lib/pacman/sync/community
tar -xzf multilib.db.tar.gz  -C /var/lib/pacman/sync/multilib

then I run this command in work computer with internet connection

 rsync -avrt --bwlimit=18 rsync://ftp.osuosl.org/archlinux/community/os/any/ /home/narges/i686/ && rsync -avrt --bwlimit=18 rsync://ftp.osuosl.org/archlinux/core/os/any/ /home/narges/i686/ && rsync -avrt --bwlimit=18 rsync://ftp.osuosl.org/archlinux/core/os/i686/ /home/narges/i686/ && rsync -avrt --bwlimit=18 rsync://ftp.osuosl.org/archlinux/extra/os/any/ /home/narges/i686/ && rsync -avrt --bwlimit=18 rsync://ftp.osuosl.org/archlinux/extra/os/i686/ /home/narges/i686/ && rsync -avrt --bwlimit=18 rsync://ftp.osuosl.org/archlinux/multilib/os/i686/ /home/narges/i686/

and after that move files from work to home and copy them to

 /var/cache/pacman/pkg

and run pacman for upgrade packages
which command for pacman can update packages ?

The usual one: 'pacman -Su'

Huh? What part didn't work? because I manually downloaded the DBs and 'pacman -Su' worked.

What do you mean? How do you want to use powerpill?

If you do not have an internet connection at home then you can follow the instructions for Powerpill Portable that I posted above, but you cannot use normal Powerpill from home.
