I am back to a bit more work on the the cas_sso app and rebuilding things after doing a full wipe of my dev environment. Anyways I am getting the following while doing vagrant up

default: Downloading: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2132770g1e05c6d/discourse.box?dl=1
An error occurred while downloading the remote file. The error
message, if any, is reproduced below. Please fix this error and try
again.

Any thoughts?

No, It’s ok in my side:

Hmm. Curl also succeeds for me but I get the following when I
vagrant up

==> default: Adding box 'discourse-16.04' (v0) for provider: virtualbox
    default: Downloading: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2132770g1e05c6d/discourse.box?dl=1

I must have misinterpreted the error.

It seems that vagrant 1.8.7 is broken on OSX. Downgrading to 1.8.6 seems to have fixed the issue.
