Hi,

I'm new to the Kali Forums and I've been trying to import Kali Linux into Virtual Box. I've dowloaded both the 32 bit and 64 bit torrent files, and both give me the same error during the import process:

Failed to import appliance C:\Users\James\Downloads\kali-linux-2019-3-vbox-i386-ova\kali-linux-2019.3-vbox-i386.ova.


Result Code:
E_INVALIDARG (0x80070057)



I tried the non-torrent version, but all that comes up is a bunch of plaintext and encryption, with no file to be found. It seems like a lot of people are experiencing the same issue, so is this gonna get fixed anytime soon? Is there another way to get Kali for virtual box?

That was fixed a while ago, download the one (2019.3a) on the download page: https://www.offensive-security.com/kali-linux-vm-vmware-virtualbox-image-download/

Are you sure you are downloading the torrent from a trusted source?
