vagrant can use: config.vm.box = "name" config.vm.box_url = "url"
and you could use a local path for boxes you have already donloaded say file:///path/mybox.box or you can add a box locally like vagrant box --name <name> file where file can be local path or some url that curl read.. i think http/https/ftp (??) so if you distribute/download boxes from torrent, you can just point to the local file Alvaro On Thu, Dec 29, 2016 at 12:40 AM, Jim Jim <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Alvaro, > > Thanks for that I realized later but url what you have provided is really > helpful except downloading the boxes is taking forever. > > Is there any quicker way to download the vagrant boxes? may be torrent or > via browser? > > Please advise. > > Kind Regards, > Jim > > Thanks > > > On Thu, Dec 29, 2016 at 1:12 AM, Alvaro Miranda Aguilera < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> hello. >> >> Its failing because there is no webserver/box/files on that url. >> >> Try boxes from here: >> https://atlas.hashicorp.com/boxes/search >> >> Alvaro. >> >> >> On Wed, Dec 28, 2016 at 4:40 AM, Jim Jim <[email protected]> >> wrote: >> >>> Hey Guys, >>> >>> Trying to create a vagrant machine and it is failing with following >>> error: >>> C:\OnlyOnMyPC\Vagrant-VM's\windows7-enterprise>telnet >>> vagrantboxes.devopslive.or >>> g 80 >>> Connecting To vagrantboxes.devopslive.org...Could not open connection >>> to the hos >>> t, on port 80: Connect failed >>> >>> C:\OnlyOnMyPC\Vagrant-VM's\windows7-enterprise>vagrant box add win7ent >>> http://va >>> grantboxes.devopslive.org/windows-7-enterprise-i386.box >>> ==> box: Box file was not detected as metadata.
