How to generate download links of packages through Pacman
Hello World 
I have installed Arch base in virtual box before physical install. I have synchronized pacman database with pacman -Syy command. Now I want to install other stuff like x ,gnome, sound etc. Please tell me how to generate download link for any any package and all its dependencies to a text file with Pacman so that i can download it with wget on some other computer and then transfer it back to my system.
Thanks

-p, --print-uris
Print out URIs for each package that will be installed, including
any dependencies yet to be installed. These can be piped to a file
and downloaded at a later time, using a program like wget.
