[Cialug] File download issue

[Tom Sellers]

I was attempting to download directly from the Oracle site when I encountered the download problems.  
 
After finally getting the download and installing it I can open VirtualBox but am unable to start an XP virtual machine due to the errors I sent in the screen shot.  This happens before I even get to the point of actually loading the XP software.  I can look at the settings for the VM but am unable to click on Start without encountering the errors.

I have been repeatedly warned against getting VB from a software center; I've been told to get it directly from Oracle instead. Perhaps because the software centers are much slower to be updated. I don't remember what troubles I encountered, but I seem to have much better results when getting it from Oracle.

Have you tried the Ubuntu software center? I see the latest VB for Ubuntu10.10 is 3.2.8, or are you trying for the latest 4.x.x?

>>I have been trying to download the current version of virtualbox today and each time I start the download it stops before getting the entire file and reports in a brief popup in the lower right of my screen that all file downloads completed.  Of about 6 attempts I think the most I received was about 27 MB of the  62MB file that is starts out telling me that I am downloading.
