Respect to anyone who chooses to donate to the project, or to the upstream
of packages they particularly derive value from, but surely the thing to do
would be to use it, then decide to do that??? What's the use case that
makes sense to pay for it before you've tried it?

BTW best answer in my opinion is get networking working, then set up
sources.list to point at the repos as others have suggested. If networking
isn't available, sources.list set up to use the thumb drive as others have
suggested is the way to go. Either way, once at up, there are commands line
apt-get install <package> to install software and keep it up to date.
