Does anyone know where I can find a downloadable manual (any format) for elasticsearch? http://www.elasticsearch.org/guide/ is OK, but sometimes the site is not reachable, and searching for content is not practical.

Cloning the repo is useless. You cannot build their docs since the asciidoc files for the build --all command are access protected.
The only solution is to crawl their site, for example with wget:
wget -r -l1 --page-requisites -N --convert-links -E robots=off "https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.5/index.html"
the index.html contains all the links of the doc subdirectories, so you can specify -l1 which will make wget crawl only one level deep
note that you cannot use the search function on crawled docs since there is no server running in the background
