The normal updates to a network connected avast system are incremental updates and are usually very small in size and are merged into the avast database on a regular basis. This is the preferred way of updating an avast system.
For supporting a system without a network connection from a system with a network connection ...
If you have a system with a network connection you can download the full avast anti-virus signature file from:
http://www.avast.com/eng/updates.html
This is a 20+ Mb file that you can transfer to and execute on another system with avast installed to provide the latest updates to that system.
