Sometimes it is desirable to download nbms offline. As an example usecase, one may wish to update an IDE that is installed on a system without an internet connection (possibly set up that way for security reasons). In such cases, the updates can be obtained offline using a system that does have an internet connection; and the updates then copied over to and applied offline on a system without internet access.
