File download aborts, vagrant up cannot continue

[mariannemyers]

I encountered the following error while trying to setup a new VM:

    dib-ml1: Downloading: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/grtjn/boxes/centos-6.7/versions/2.2.0/providers/virtualbox.box
An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
again.

Retrying vagrant up --no-provision

    dib-ml1: Downloading: https://atlas.hashicorp.com/grtjn/boxes/centos-6.7/versions/2.2.0/providers/virtualbox.box
==> dib-ml1: Box download is resuming from prior download progress
An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try

HTTP server doesn't seem to support byte ranges. Cannot resume.

The download of the above virtualbox.box file somehow terminated.

I was able to resolve this error, but removing the following file:
~/.vagrant.d/tmp/boxaec5ab74a7694fd5e752da440626f8a69973800c

After deleting the above file, running vagrant up --no-provision again was able to complete successfully. The hash for this download is likely different per each system, but should have a timestamp of close to when the vagrant up failed.

We should add this to a troubleshooting guide.

Vagrant might also provide a nicer command to flush temp files, would have to search on internet..

It might have been very straight-forward actually. There is a vagrant box command with options like update and remove. I should add a section for that in the README..
