Perhaps Peggo once Arc has cooled.

The project is certainly interesting and I respect your right to license it as you will, maybe for commercial reasons, but a closed source black box with relatively low-level access (like Java) makes me uncomfortable.
I may be alone in my aversion to browser plugins, but most of what Arc could be good for would be better solved with actual native software. See Peggo: A GUI app for OSX with just an input box for the YouTube URL and a choice of where to download the MP3 file would be a better solution for that problem. On the devices where Peggo would be useful (mobile phones, for instance), Arc can't be used.
Some things just shouldn't be web apps—I say this as someone who's never made a native app.

Are you using a commercial license for VirtualBox then (and not the default GPL)?
