Can't download

Post by StevenQC »

I am having difficulty downloading VirtualBox - all my browsers are unhappy about it.
Firefox just says it is dangerous, but Chrome provides some details: NET::ERR_CERT_AUTHORITY_INVALID
Is that an issue with Virtualbox's website?
I am just trying to download this version: h t t p s : / / d o w n l o a d . v i r t u a l b o x . o r g / v i r t u a l b o x / 7 . 0 . 6 / V i r t u a l B o x - 7 . 0 . 6 - 1 5 5 1 7 6 - W i n . e x e

My Chrome doesn't complain, on two of my Windows hosts that I tried on. Can't say why you'd be having trouble.

Please note that any glitches in the download site aren't things we users on the forum can fix, but we might be able to pass a message along. Where in the planet are you downloading from? General continent may suffice.

It's working fine for me too.

It could have been just a temporary glitch, something that virtualbox.org suffers quite often (the forums are hosted on a different server). Try it again.

Thank you both for the hints! After reading your answers, I pushed my investigation further. I checked again, the download is still impossible... on my work pc. It seems to be our company's system that prevents the download - I just tried with my home pc and download runs fine without complain using the same browsers. Thanks for helping me solve my problem!

But you did! :-) I realize that the forums were not the best please for this question, but all help pointers seemed to say: "Post on our forums first..."

Thanks again!
