    How can you possibly "download" anything "offline"?

    I too am unable to download this product in either DAZ Central or DIM. I have raised a ticket with Daz Customer Services.

    Manual installation, perhaps? DL and save it on your HD, SSD or whatever; then install it. I always do it this way.

    This seemed to have gone live with bad links from the bendle. Those have now been corrected, are the individual products now available to you?

    Just tried again. Not fixed for me yet. Nothing showing in DIM or Daz Central.

    Before all this fancy internet stuff, people used to separate the individual polygons or cut them along the appropriate seams and lay them out on wax paper or onion skin... after they dried, you'd slide the whole thing into a special moleskin pouch for shipping... 

    If it was a big model you'd used a Polygon Press which was like a panini press but more flat and it didn't crimp the edges so the cheese would stay in, which wasn't necessary because you didn't add cheese or toppings to the model as that would make it greasy and more likely to jam in the Electro-Memory Motivator Drive, which was like a hard drive but made out of wood and brass and powered by a squirrel or highly motivated rat.

    Usually you'd go down to the local Analog Dispatch Office and hire a courier or highly motivated rat (if it was a small model) to deliver it to the client or whoever you were sending it to. 
    Often the local mad scientist would have a few trained mutant bats that could do deliveries if there was no ADO in town. 
    Getting a model overseas was harder because you'd have to make sure you waterproofed it with walrus blubber first and coated it in anti-scurvy cream, then you'd have to find a sea captain willing to make a journey across the seas as back then the oceans were just rotten with sea monsters.

    If you were lucky the ship would eventually cross the ocean in a couple of weeks or the package would wash ashore and someone would carry it the rest of the way... that's because you'd usually attach a tin of cookies to the package as payment for continuing lost packages on their way...

    Also back then "cookies" were little bricks of opium... that's why to this day, many freebie creators ask for a "cookie" if you like what they make.

    They are still referring to opium.

    Once you received your content, you'd reassemble it by clamping it in a polygon rig vice and using brass pinning tools and walrus gut glue... after you had managed to close all the seams and gaps, you'd reinflate it using highly flammable hydrogen or super hydrogen which was actually even more flammable.

    Sometimes models would explode like the one in 1937 that was being assembled aboard the zeppelin Hindenburg for a trade show in Lakehurst, NJ... most explosions were far less dramatic and only killed a handful of people at a time.

    By the 1920s most of the sea monsters were extinct, so transatlantic crossings had become safer so walrus blubber became unnecessary, but the anti scurvy cream is still used by purists who extoll it's moisturizing qualities.

    WW2 created huge polygon shortages and saw many military advances in polygon design and construction, but for the most part civilian content creation was put on hold until the early 1950s when polygon production normalized... some say the early days after the war were a golden era of polygon production... but they are mostly nostalgic idiots ignoring all the bad stuff.

    The 1970s saw huge advances in non-Groovynet shipment (back then the internet was known as the Groovynet)... by then the local Analog Dispatch Offices had given way to big corporations like PolygonDirect and United Polygon Service... Advances in electromagnetic rail gun technology used to kill many of the Kaiju that were showing up all over Asia, led to a unique delivery system where suborbital plastic capsules piloted by highly motivated trained rats would be launched across the world and dropped via parachute to the recipient.

    Unfortunately by the 80s the rats wanted to unionize and plastic costs had skyrocketed due to the oil shortages of the late 70s, so standard postal shipping became the standard by the early 80s thanks to advances in thinner polygons. 
    By 1994 PolygonDirect was the only surviving polygon expeditor left and had changed its name to PolyEx... but at that point nobody was using highly motivated rats anymore and in 1998 the last PolyEx Office in Beavertown, Oregon closed for good.

    Today there are still a rare few who "download" content the old way and enjoy reassembling their models using traditional walrus gut glue... there are even a few clubs that can be found on Reddit and YouTube videos on how to do it yourself, for those interested.

    But yes... it is quite possible if you take the time or find the proper materials and equipment... although walrus gut glue is very expensive now.., well over $12,000.63 per ounce... but it's very satisfying to do it the old way.

    People who purchased while the associations were bad should now have their downloads.
