unable to download box - 'An error occurred while downloading the remote file.'

I'm trying to download a box, and run into the following error:

snowch:~/Demo$ vagrant box add zyga/ubuntu-precise-desktop-i386

If I try to download with curl, I get:

snowch:~/Demo$ curl --insecure -L -v https://vagrantcloud.com/zyga/boxes/ubuntu-precise-desktop-i386/versions/1.0/providers/virtualbox.box
...
* SSLv3, TLS alert, Client hello (1):

* Closing connection 1
* SSLv3, TLS alert, Client hello (1):
curl: (18) transfer closed with 1403398904 bytes remaining to read

My vagrant version is:

snowch:~/Demo$ vagrant --version
Vagrant 1.7.3

Any ideas?

Solution

  • You can check what Vagrant is doing with:

    export VAGRANT_LOG=debug

    I think this might be a bug in atlas. I would ping hashicorp.

    The full command that is used to download box looks like this:

    curl -q \
--fail \
--location \
--max-redirs 10 \
--user-agent Vagrant/1.7.2 \
--continue-at - \
--output test.box \
