Same here - www.virtualbox.org times out. But you could add this line

deb http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/ lucid non-free

to your "/etc/apt/sources.list". Then add the Oracle key with this command:

wget -q http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox/debian/oracle_vbox.asc -O- | sudo apt-key add -

and finally install the PUEL version:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install virtualbox-3.2
