You can go here to download the files:

You'll have to place them where Stata can find them.

However, are you absolutely positively sure you can't get an 
Internet-connected machine with Stata on it?  Personally, I just 
periodically copy c:\ado from one machine onto another so that all of 
my ado files are in sync with each other.  Manually installing files 
is cumbersome and is prone to error.
