Get from a CTAN mirror the miktex packages you want to install:

http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages

Download also from the same mirror the two package databases:

http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/miktex-zzdb1-2.9.tar.lzma
http://mirrors.ctan.org/systems/win32/miktex/tm/packages/miktex-zzdb2-2.9.tar.lzma

Put everything in some empty folder (outside miktex), and then
choose this folder as local repository in the package manager or
update manager.

That link doesn't describe a local repository but a local root.
That's useful for local files but not to install packages from CTAN.
