"I noticed that blender's website has hundreds of tutorials but not for download. "
You can actually download those tutorials too.
For videos try to find and install appropriate browser plug-in that will allow you to capture and save embedded media. Have you ever downloaded any video from youtube? If not, ask your friends who have. Same thing for Blender video tutorials.

As far as web pages are concerned, you can save complete pages with
File < Save Page As < Web Page, Complete
they'll be saved in HTML format, so you'll need browser to be installed on your offline computer in order to view them. With appropriate software you can later convert them to pdf or some other format if you like.
There are also programs like Primo, CutePDF and similar, that function like virtual printers. You use them just like any other printer (File<Print etc.) except they print content to PDF file instead on paper. Web pages printed in such way are not perfectly formatted because they keep the parts typical of a web page that doesn't look very pretty in a "book", but they're usable.

You can also find many useful tip and tricks on community sites dedicated to Blender like:

I have been trying to find some good blender tutorials on how to make a realistic looking spacecraft. My friends and I are planning to do a little series that takes place mostly in space and we need to make CG shots, but all my search results come up with are either unbelievably cheesy, or are for 3DS Max and Maya.

Can ya' give me some links to some GOOD spaceship Blender Tuts?
