As I child I once thought that you could download (let’s say) a 100GB file and store it offline to then provide another device with internet, spending those 100GB offline, why this can’t be done?

Think about it this way, can you store up a bottle of live telephone conversations with your grandmother? Of course not; you can record conversations but you can’t fill up a tape with conversations which haven’t happened yet!
The internet is a way of communicating with other computers across the world. In the same way you can’t have an old recording that acts like a live telephone call with your grandmother today, you can’t have a hard drive full of “internet” that works like the internet does.
Now if you know you want some files you can access on the internet now to be available later then you can certainly download and store them, but you can’t store up future information.
