It sure would be nice if zypper provided a "download" function which just downloaded, to the current directory, the package or packages you ask for.

Sometimes zypper can't do what you need but rpm can, but without any way to get the rpm(s) to install it makes things much more difficult.

There is one ways already possible and one another planned. Currently you can keep the downloaded rpms by setting the keeppackages attribute (zypper mr -k <repo>). You will find them under  /var/cache/zypp/packages/<repo> after installing them (you can use the --dry-run option to download only). And bug #384579 is planned.
