Yes, to access downloads from the internet, an active internet connection is required. This applies to downloading anything from documents and music to software and videos. However, once downloads are complete, you can access these files offline. For applications or games that require online authentication or streaming content, continuous internet connectivity will be necessary. If you're looking to use software or play games without internet, look for options that offer offline access post-download.
