Offline Is there an easy way without using a USB flash drive to download files directly to the downloads folder?

How can I download a program with all its dependencies from Flatpak and Flathub without an internet connection to keep a specific copy of the program and return to it after formatting the device or installing it on a device not connected to the internet? Isn’t there an easy way without using a USB stick to download files directly to the downloads folder or any folder you choose and transfer it manually to the USB stick by copying and pasting like sudo apt install --download-only package-name or sudo dnf download --resolve package-name These are easy and practical methods and are not complicated. I hope the developers find a solution and simplify the method. Thank you for the effort. My regards

flatpak create-usb doesn’t actually require the use of a USB stick (you can use any directory).

Flathub uses ostree for distribution, so there are no ‘packages’ on the server that can be downloaded directly.
