Mark,

Yes, I could. Even with the computer connected to the internet, you can tell iTunes to install "current firmware version", meaning that it will use the firmware file saved in a dir locally.

Yes, if anybody over there could send me the firmware file, it would be great. It needs to be for iPod Classic 120, which is a different firmware than iPod Classic 80. Also, I'd be curious to find out if it is named "24"...
