Both versions of ME Consultant are standalone applications, and their ability to function has nothing to do with the status of the Internet. And the fact that you don't need the thread data doesn't help the people who do.
The Machinerys Handbook contains a vast amount of information, but it takes time to find and, often, a pocket calculator and more time to get the numbers you're really interested in (assuming you don't make a mistake with your calculator.)
ME Consultant (free) makes a very large number of calculations for you (machining, thread data, material weight, drill depths, etc.) with a few mouse clicks.
ME Consultant Professional (not free) adds detailed job planning for machining jobs plus many other very useful functions. Turns hours of manual calculations, page turning, and Internet searching into a few minutes.
