Errors 1 and 3 are the same.
It seems that there are problems with virtualbox package downloaded from its webpage, try this in a terminal:
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq virtualbox

Error 2:
How do you try to install that deb file? It may be related to permissions. Try:
sudo dpkg -i atari800.deb

Error 4:
Downloading should start when you select download and press the button. Sometimes button does not get enabled when download is selected. Try cycling through other window and when you return to firefox, maybe the button is at last enabled.
