After it is installed? Not if it wasn't saved in the first place, as far as I know. If you do a new install, however, you could do:

Code:

apt-get install -d packagename

Which will download the package only, without installing it, and the .deb can be found back in the folder

Code:

 /var/cache/apt/archives

I was looking for it on their website but they no longer support it so it is no longer available.

If it is not available, then it won't be in your cache...
