updating archlinux without internet

I have an archlinux, with a very slow internet connection. I want to update it, but for me it is faster to download all packages on the another machine with a fast internet connection.
I made pacman -Sy before. Now I have a question
How can I get list of all packages and path to the packages in the internet for updating with a helps of pacman like it is in Gentoo...
I want to get file with full path to new packages

Use pacman's -p switch. For a full system upgrade with the output to a file called package_list:

pacman -Suyp > package_list

If it's helpful, easynews starts to sync at 5:00PM Arizona time. That makes the zone Pacific during US daylight savings time and Mountain otherwise.
