Would anyone know what I can do to solve this? I'm a noob with Vagrant.

It looks like you have the same situation as described in this SO question: Error when trying vagrant up. My answer repeated here:
You may have created a Vagrant project with just vagrant init. That will create your Vagrantfile, but it won't have a box defined.
Instead, you could try vagrant init hashicorp/precise32 which uses a standard Ubuntu image. The Vagrant website has a Getting Started which gives some good examples.

I use Vagrant on my Linux and OS X machines without problem.
Now on Windows 10 (the preview with Bash for Windows) it fails while downloading my box, without specifying a proper error message:

I also tried downloading the box (so the URL is correct!) and adding it manually but this results in the same:

I found the answer in this github issue: https://github.com/mitchellh/vagrant/issues/6725#issuecomment-223733553
I installed the VC++ 2010 redistributable and vagrant up worked immediately!
I'm trying to try out Vagrant, but ...
$ vagrant init hashicorp/precise32

62K/s is pretty much the fastest its been for multiple boxes I've tried including hashicorp/precise32, hashicorp/precise64, bento/debian-8.2 and some others.
Is there a Vagrant box mirror that I can configure vagrant to use or some other mechanism to allow for faster box downloads?
You can try wget on the URL as
wget https://atlas.hashicorp.com/hashicorp/boxes/precise32/versions/1.0.0/providers/virtualbox.box
There has been issue opened related to this without clear fix. vagrant uses curl internally but it might work better using wget instead.
once you have the box file you still need to add to vagrant (vagrant box add ...)

I am following this tutorial: DataScienceToolBox
Are you using an old version of Vagrant, perhaps? Here's what those commands do for me:
vagrant up
Bringing machine 'default' up with 'virtualbox' provider...
==> default: Box 'data-science-toolbox/dst' could not be found. Attempting to find and install...
default: Box Provider: virtualbox
default: Box Version: >= 0
==> default: Loading metadata for box 'data-science-toolbox/dst'
default: URL: https://vagrantcloud.com/data-science-toolbox/dst
==> default: Adding box 'data-science-toolbox/dst' (v0.1.5) for provider: virtualbox
default: Downloading: https://vagrantcloud.com/data-science-toolbox/dst/version/1/provider/virtualbox.box
==> default: Waiting for cleanup before exiting...
The fact that yours doesn't even attempt to retrieve the box from vagrantcloud suggests an old version, maybe.
You can get your version with $ vagrant version.
This box needs version 1.5+ so I updated to version 1.6 downloading from this website and now it is working

I am trying to add vagrant box using vagrant 1.4.3 on Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS:
Vagrant 1.4.3 user#machine:~$ vagrant box add
ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64
and I get:
This command was not invoked properly. The help for this command is
available below.
Obviously the format of command is wrong but how can I get box:
https://vagrantcloud.com/ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64
from vagrant cloud?
vagrant box add "ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64"
is your answer.
edit:
My previous answer was based on the latest Vagrant version.
In 1.4.3 you cannot add boxes in this way because it's not working with Vagrantcloud.
Instead you need to manually specify the box url like this:
$ vagrant box add "ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64" https://vagrantcloud.com/ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64/version/7/provider/virtualbox.box --provider virtualbox
You should get the following:
Downloading box from URL: https://vagrantcloud.com/ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64/version/7/provider/virtualbox.box
Extracting box...te: 1591k/s, Estimated time remaining: 0:00:02)
Successfully added box 'ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64' with provider 'virtualbox'!
You need to manually look up the URL of the box you want to add, and use that instead.
So, for example, say you want to add the box puppetlabs/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet from Vagrantcloud, you need to:
Go to https://vagrantcloud.com/puppetlabs/boxes/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet
Click on a version from the versions dropdown on the right hand side (eg, 1.0.0) to get to: https://vagrantcloud.com/puppetlabs/boxes/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet/versions/1
Copy and paste the URL of the box for the provider you want to use. For Virtualbox in this case, it is: https://vagrantcloud.com/puppetlabs/boxes/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet/versions/1/providers/virtualbox.box
Use the URL to add the box like this:
vagrant box add "puppetlabs/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet" https://vagrantcloud.com/puppetlabs/boxes/ubuntu-14.04-32-puppet/versions/1/providers/virtualbox.box --provider virtualbox
I struggled with this for a while. The key was getting the most recent version of vagrant -- 1.7.4 at the time that I am writing this. The download link that I used was: https://www.vagrantup.com/downloads.html
I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 on a MacBook Pro. To download ubuntu/trusty64 I went to the site https://atlas.hashicorp.com/boxes/search?utm_source=vagrantcloud.com&vagrantcloud=1 which listed the currently available boxes. You can search for a box by description. For example, entering 'debian' as a search term returns a list.
I selected a box and followed the instructions on its page (in my case the page was https://atlas.hashicorp.com/ubuntu/boxes/trusty64). Here is a log of what I did next:
$ vagrant init ubuntu/trusty64

This is not exactly answer to your question, but I used:
vagrant box add precise32 http://files.vagrantup.com/precise32.box
and then just change ffuenf/debian-6.0.9-amd64 name to precise32 in config file (Vagrantfile). And it looks like it is running properly. Probably there is somewhere a box file for ffuenf, but I don't know that.
i was add box with local file from https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/x1085661891dhkz/lxc-centos6.5-2013-12-02.box
vagrant box add centos centos.box
vagrant init centos

cheneytekimbp:vagrant-centos zicjin$ vagrant box list

Add the local box file using the full path with the file protocol URI. For instance:
vagrant box add centos file:///Users/zicjin/Work/vagrant-centos/centos.box
(the exact location of course depends on where you've put the file)
$ vagrant box add CentOSMinimal https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7225008/Vagrant/CentOS-6.3-x86_64-minimal.box
$ vagrant init CentOSMinimal
$ vagrant up
If you're on windows, you can define the path as:
vagrant box add box_name "C:\Users\JohnDoe\blahblah\box_name.box"
Notice the .box at the end of the path.
Then you can cd into the directory if you're not already there and do vagrant up.
I've solved a similar issue upgrading Vagrant to the latest version and magically it works... :/
