I see now. You should download the file first, then install it. There are several ways to do this. I recommend the following:
  1. Go to to the VirtualBox website download page in firefox: here.
  2. Find the line entitled Ubuntu 7.04 ("Feisty Fawn")
  3. Right click on the correct versio (i386 if you have a 32-bit system, AMD64 is you have a 64-bit AMD CPU)
  4. From context menu, select "Save Link As..."
  5. Save the file on your Desktop
  6. Wait for the download to complete
  7. Right-click on the .deb file and select Open with "GDebi package installer"
  8. Click the install button
  9. Enter your admin password if prompted.

That should be it.
