You booted from USB, in which case loader did not find the local
install.img and thus had to seek out an install.img from a network
location, ergo it asked you where to get it from.

Had you burned the iso to media (CD/DVD) loader would have found the
local install.img and used that to launch the gui which would have then
defaulted to the mirrormanager link for getting the bits.
