Slow Progress while Install Homestead Box

Hi,

I wonder if others have experiencing the same problem with me.

I have VERY slow progress when running this command "vagrant box add laravel/homestead".

Even worst the progress also stop with varies error message: "transfer closed bla bla or SSL error bla bla". I tried manually download via direct link "https://atlas.hashicorp.com/laravel/boxes/homestead/versions/2.0.0/providers/virtualbox.box" and the result typically the same (slow and corrupted).

I assume this is server issues, because I have enough speed connection (50Mbps).

Does anyone faces the same issue or have any other options to install the Homestead?

Thanks -Toni

You can try the alternate installation which involves cloning the github repo, instructions are below courtesy of laravel.com

Installing Homestead

You may install Homestead by simply cloning the repository. Consider cloning the repository into a Homestead folder within your "home" directory, as the Homestead box will serve as the host to all of your Laravel projects:

cd ~

git clone https://github.com/laravel/homestead.git Homestead

You should check out a tagged version of Homestead since the master branch may not always be stable. You can find the latest stable version on the Github Release Page:

cd Homestead

// Clone the desired release...
git checkout v4.0.5

Once you have cloned the Homestead repository, run the bash init.sh command from the Homestead directory to create the Homestead.yaml configuration file. The Homestead.yaml file will be placed in the Homestead directory:

// Mac / Linux...
bash init.sh

// Windows...
init.bat
