Download Interruption Upon Installing from Flashkey

I'm trying to download firefox to a USB drive and put it onto another machine that does not have internet access. The problem: I keep getting the "download interrupted" error and from the looks of things, it's not even beginning to download. The installer will open and appears to be preparing to download, but never actually starts downloading. It idles for a few minutes on the initial screen from running the Setup application and finally prompts that the download was interrupted. Any suggestions?

Works like a charm.

Not sure what the difference was, but for anyone in the future who is trying to accomplish the same, I was originally using the following link: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and when I copied the download to my flash drive, the file was called "FireFox Setup Stub 29.0.2" as opposed to downloading it from the link the-edmeister posted and it reading "FireFox Setup 29.0.2". I'm not sure what the "Stub" indicates, but I'm assuming that was the problem. Anyway, thanks for the help.
