Local Virtualbox downloads?

[concentricpuddle]

Is there a local server that I can download the latest VirtualBox (Debian Lenny 64bit) from?

Tried one of the local universities' FTP servers yet?

 

[concentricpuddle]

Yeah, checked the ones in the 'where to download' thread. No dice.

You will not find it on any of the mirrors since it is not open source, you have to agree to a license before you can download it.

AFAIK you can only get it from their site and/or authorized mirrors.

I have the DEP here for 64bit, to get it to you would be the problem...

Up to 2.2:
ftp://ftp.uwc.ac.za/sun/virtualbox/

Thanks. Downloading as I type.

Just remember that 2.2 does not have client USB support, only 3.0 and up.

Watcha mean? Not being able to use USB from the VM? If so, They've been having it!

Sorry, late nights and early mornings getting to me...

The opensource version does not have USB, but there is a elaborate hack that will allow you get it going:

The non-free version you download from VirtualBox.org does ship with USB support and one click networking. No need for bridging, etc, just click and activate networking.
