Or a quiet good method to upgrade your system with low-bandwidth net:
at home:
  pacman -Sy
  pacman -Su --print-uris > file

at high-bandwidth net:
  wget -i file

at home:
  copy the files to /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ dir
  pacman -Su

With this method you can upgrade your system (i used a quiet same method 
for upgrading debian)
