SQL Server Express localdb.msi offline installer

Question

I am not able to install using the online installer. Can anyone point me to where I can find the offline installer? I tried searching with Google gut with no luck.

This is similar but not an offline installer.

How to install localdb separately?

This is the error I encounter repeatedly using the online installer (probably due to the firewall):
