Install packages without connection.
Hey guys, I'm new on Arch.
I've installed Arch and it is all right.
Now I have a new problem.
I don't have a internet connection on my pc, but i have a friend that can download some files to me 
.
Is there any way that I can make a list of files to download (like in synaptic on ubuntu) and download them in another computer, then send them back to mine to install?
Thanks to all.

Re: Install packages without connection.
Yes its possible, but seems quite cumbersome to me because of the rolling release philosophy.
Perhaps a "stable" distro with releases on regular intervals would be more practical?

Re: Install packages without connection.
toffyrn had a point. A friend of mine didn't updated the system for a long time and it broke hard after an update. He had to reinstall pacman.
Sorry for my English. Feel free to point out my errors.
