By "load" do you mean to run the program or do you mean to install the program?
Either way you shouldn't need to be online.

You can download "packages" from http://packages.ubuntu.com
and install them by clicking on them and they should open in Gdebi
You sometimes have to be careful to get all the dependencies.
If you get cyclical dependencies (e.g. A depends on B, B depends on C,
C depends on A) you can install with dpkg (dpkg -i [package names])
