By default, the Ubuntu Software Center is used for installing packages and/or new software. Try looking for "Ubuntu Software Center" in the dash instead of synaptic package manger.

If you mean System Configuration tools, I think there is a good chance if you will reinstall the ubuntu-desktop meta-package. In a terminal, type next command:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop

actually the packages you are downloading through the synaptic package manager will be at /var/cache/apt/archives location in your PC.Those packages will be in .DEB format.
so if you like to open the .DEB file , you can do it with
ar vx your_package.deb.

Once the downloads are finished, go in Synaptic Package Manager again and select the same package(s) name(s) that you initially selected. Go to “Add downloaded packages” from the File menu, notice that the window that pops up is titled "Select directory" not "Select file(s)", you do not select individual package files but the directory which contains them. ...

I have the same problem, also in 13.04 - 64 bit.
In Ubuntu 12.10 - 64 bits, on the same machine, it worked.
Anyway, until the problem is solved, you can manually edit its conf file to change proxy parameters for Synaptic.
The file is /root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf and you can specify the user and password on the httpProxyUser and
httpProxyPass lines

You can upgrade to Ubuntu 13.04, which includes Python 3.3.1, or request a backport of python3.3 to 12.10. Upgrading to 13.04 might be a good idea since you're on a non-LTS release already.

With apt-cache, you can use the --names-only switch with your search term, and/or use some regex to narrow the searches down. Some examples I have used are listed below.
1) Using --names-only with a simple search of the word launcher cuts out a lot of results:
apt-cache search launcher --names-only
Often when using regex in your searches, --names-only ...

Synaptic is a computer program which is a GTK+ graphical user interface front-end to the Advanced Packaging Tool for the Debian package management system. Synaptic is usually used on systems based on deb packages but can also be used on systems based on RPM packages.

At the bottom of this page you will find this .DEB file.
Mind you... you will also need all the dependencies shown on the first link and any dependency those dependencies have if any of those dependencies is not yet installed.
2 remarks:
An internet connection would be easier. It would save you lots of time.
You do not really need Synaptic since Ubuntu ...

See http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/raring/man1/apt-build.1.html
See also Build Ubuntu from source, for speed
Building from source is, IMO over rated. See :

(yes I am a long time gentoo user as well)
And

Apt-get doesn't work like BSD ports or Gentoo portage. You can apt-get source and debuild all of them individually, but it's not easily automate-able or built-in.
You could theoretically script mirroring a source repo, building a dependency chain, starting at the root, and building each package... but generally for the target user-base of Ubuntu, it's ...
