I am a android "first timer" and had similar problem two nights ago. I tried to download and install Android SDK on older Windows XP machine using the "recommended install" package at http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html, but the install kept failing. ( Android install could not find the Java JDK package even though it was installed) I was about to write for help when I decided to use the Windows zip package. After many hours of installation download time, the zip package worked!
Once you have android SDK installed, your installed SDK will be in the offline mode. Because of the lengthy download time, I backed-up the 1.6GB installation onto a thumb-drive. To re-create my android SDK, I just need copy files from the thumb-drive to a new folder on my Desktop. For a completely offline installation, I suggest that you have a friend upload the SDK folder to a Dropbox shared folder and, Internet access permitting, and download the folder. You can directly invoke android SDK from the downloaded folder. If poor Internet service prevents you from downloading, then have the friend copy the SDK folder to DVD and snail-mail the DVD to you.
