virtual machine - Where does Vagrant download its .box files to?

Question

What happens to the .box file after the following command is executed?

vagrant box add lucid32 http://files.vagrantup.com/lucid32.box

I can't find the lucid32.box file on the file system after download has completed.

As mentioned in the docs, boxes are stored at:

• Mac OS X and Linux: ~/.vagrant.d/boxes
• Windows: C:/Users/USERNAME/.vagrant.d/boxes
