That may be true of installers, in general, but it is not true of
mingw-get, if the installation is restricted to a "me only" case.

That said, we do not have the manpower resources to maintain an offline
installer, but it should be possible for any user, with a live internet
connection to create their own.  The idea, which I have used in the
past, is to create the initial installation on removable (or network
shared) media, then clone that (offline) wherever you wish.  You may
subsequently remount the removable/shared media installation in the
online environment, update/upgrade it, and distribute the updates to
offline clones, as required.

HTH.
