Question

What is the problem when a download says "Offline"? What can I do to fix this? Sometimes all of the downloads from one website say "offline."

Try a different browser like Firefox, Microsoft Edge, or Google Chrome. If the problem persists, try downloading an anti-malware software, Malwarebytes is the best free one you can get.
