You don’t need to give the VM network access to download the software if you have a linux host. You can directly mount a virtual box drive from the host, copy the file(s) onto the drive and then unmount it and start the VM as per normal.
Search for qemu-nbd iirc (network block device) - I have the how to details saved on my host (ie not on me) so ping me if you want them. Note it’s a qemu app that works for vbox
Could be worth asking on selfhosted (how do I link a sub on lemmy ?) They probably have more relevant experience at this sort of thing.
Edit
Does this work ?
Thank you
What is the difference between type 1 & 2 please ?
For me this falls in the category of “sit back and eat popcorn”. Both sides are arseholes I don’t mind which loses, in fact it’s a shame they all can’t lose
