I know there are a couple of reports of this issue but at the end of them it always says fixed.

I'm running Arch Linux and installing under JRuby under RVM. Vagrant gem installed fine, I had virtualbox 4.1.8 that was installed via pacman and I got this error:

````
Vagrant has detected that you have a version of VirtualBox installed
that is not supported. Please install one of the supported versions
listed below to use Vagrant:

4.0, 4.1
````

So I uninstalled the virtualbox that I installed with my package manager and went to get the 4.1.0 release from the Oracle site, installed that and I still get the same problem.

The message appears when I execute this command:

````
[sam@arch-main]$ vagrant box add base-jruby http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid64.box
````

Output:

````
[vagrant] Downloading with Vagrant::Downloaders::HTTP...
[vagrant] Downloading box: http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid64.box

I've tried to run that command about 6 times now with various changes and I've not had any success. It's a little annoying that I need to redownload the box every time, too. Would there be any way in future of keeping the downloaded box on failed installs?

The box I'm trying to install just doesn't exist. `vagrant box list` tells me there are no boxes. Any advice is appreciated :) Thank you.
