Run a checksum of the file on both machines (crc, md5, sha3, etc.) and compare
them. For download corruption even crc is good enough.

With Virtualbox, copying the install from one system to another doesn't work
in my experience, likely due to the uuids and paths in the config files.

Using the export/import feature of Virtualbox would likely work though I haven't
tried it.
