Just trying a simple vagrant up with the Lucid 64 box and it just gets stuck after downloading the box while verifying. If I kill the VBoxManage.exe process Vagrant finally says the box is invalid, which is shouldn't be as it's an official one.

My Ruby has been installed with RubyInstaller and is version 1.8.7 (2011-12-28 patchlevel 357) [i386-mingw32].

Here is my Vagrantfile:

```ruby
Vagrant::Config.run do |config|
config.vm.box = "lucid64"
config.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid64.box"
end
```

This is the output from my terminal after running `vagrant up`:

```
[default] Box lucid64 was not found. Fetching box from specified URL...
[vagrant] Downloading with Vagrant::Downloaders::HTTP...
[vagrant] Downloading box: http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid64.box
[vagrant] Extracting box...5460760 / 275491840)[vagrant]
[vagrant] Verifying box...
```

After having killed VBoxManage.exe:

```
[vagrant] Cleaning up downloaded box...
The box file you're attempting to add is invalid. This can be
commonly attributed to typos in the path given to the box add
command. Another common case of this is invalid packaging of the
box itself.
