Offline installation on XPS 9350

Hi all,
i'm on a XPS 9350 which had a broadcom wifi chip that is incompatible with default kernel.
I'm following this guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … %282016%29 but when I'm on the install it ask me an internet connection to download the packages.
Unfortunately I don't have any dongle wifi / adapter / smartphone.

How can I make an offline installation? Every repo of this article https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/of … f_packages is offline.

ftp.archlinux.org was taken down sometime ago, but those packages are available from every mirror.

goto https://www.archlinux.org/mirrors/status/ , select a mirror from the "succesfully syncing mirrors" list close to you and open it's url.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky

Thank you!
I have donwloaded all the files:

/core/os/x86_64/core.db.tar.gz
/core/os/x86_64/core.db
/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db.tar.gz
/extra/os/x86_64/extra.db
/community/os/x86_64/community.db.tar.gz
/community/os/x86_64/community.db
/multilib/os/x86_64/multilib.db.tar.gz
/multilib/os/x86_64/multilib.db

It's about 11MB, I thought it was heavier
