Vagrant box downloaded without extension

I tried adding a vagrant box for Windows Server 2012 using the following command - vagrant box add promet/windows2012

This was taking quite a lot of time ( The size is 10.3 GB). This can be seen below-

enter image description here

So to cut short the waiting period , I picked up the downloadable link (https://vagrantcloud.com/promet/boxes/windows2012/versions/1.1/providers/virtualbox.box) from above and downloaded it manually via Download Manager. (See pic below, the .box url have been redirected )

enter image description here

The Problem is that the downloaded file does not have a .box extension. So how do I now do a vagrant box add ?

This is just fine - As long as the checksum matches, you can rename your downloaded file with a .box extension (like virtualbox.box originally) and you will add the box using the following command

vagrant box add --name promet/windows2012 <path of the downloaded box file>
