Work provides internet with no linux.

is there any way to aquire .deb packages from the repository and take
them home on a usb for install/upgrade?

I have poured through the pages with no luck.

Install cygwin on the windows box, then use sft to move them to your box at home.

No need for cygwin; just use putty - it's excellent.

I'm a big fan of both cygwin and putty, but I doubt either one of them is going to help much with getting files to a non-internet-connected debian machine.
