System -> administration -> synaptic package manager
File -> Save Marking As
Then select a location, after these updates are downloaded and installed, copy the same to other computers and run them... All the best...

Browse and navigate to this location :

/var/cache/apt/archives

These are the downloaded update file. Copy them to whichever computer you want, and then install it... You can also keep these file, so that it can be helpful in the case of a complete new installation. Hope this help.
