@sopel @david-coombes,  what do you think about resolving the 'slow internet connection' issue with the following documentation?

We default to just letting Vagrant do its thing, and download from S3.  If you're on a fast net connection this doesn't take very long

However, if you're on a slow connection, then we give instructions for how you can do a manual download of the VM using whatever technique is best for your situation.
