Hello,

Synaptic has a feature to Download-only packages without installing them. It would be nice to implement in Muon also.

Please add more description as to why you want this and how you think it should work. Where would you want the packages to go?

Do you know "Download only" feature Synaptic has? It only downloads selected packages (and their dependencies) and then it stops without installing them. It would be nice to have same feature in Muon. It doesn't really matter where packages will go, it can be standard APT folder /var/cache/apt/archives/ or a user selected folder.

Muon is no longer maintained, please switch no a supported alternative like https://apps.kde.org/discover/ or the package manager native no your system.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
