Yes, we should have the instruction. For some users t is easier to use 
cloud.centos.org and they can get the nearest mirror to download it also 
they use a download manager for a direct download link.

You are right about the instructions. I think they are half baked. i.e. 
after "vagrant box add adb <local path to the downloded image>" we 
should add steps about how user can use the recommended Vagrantfiles.

The USP of ADB is OpenShift at this moment. I think we should use 
OpenShift Vagrantfile as an example in general.
