Content Download Issue : 'CTM Job Suspended' -- 'Calling back with empty distribution point list'

Issue:

Today I stuck for a while during the Application Deployment to an user collection. Used all the default settings for the deployment. It almost worked until I saw an error in the contenttransfermanager.log:



Checked the locationservices.log and found the following entry in the log:
    calling back with empty distribution points list


Probing:

It was kind of surprise as many other deployment in past have worked without any issue.
While probing came across this small setting that could have been missed while creating the Deployment Type:


Deployment Option was left with the highlighted settings and that led to the above errors in contenttransfermanager.log and locationservices.log.

Solution:

Click on the drop drown option and select 'Download content from distribution point and run locally' :


Went back on the client and re-initiated the deployment and everything went well and the required application got installed without any further problems.
