I posted the workaround: https://askubuntu.com/a/857970/585518
The workaround is to grab the files manually from here for example:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/ and
save them in the same directory (say mscorefonts).
The files are (from the installer): Those f
Solutions to this problem is to either use a more capable HTTP-client
for download to cope with Sourceforge's ads and redirections, or to host
the fonts elsewhere. Workarounds by directing the installer to
particular mirrors etc may work for a while, and/or from some places,
but aren't likely to be

In reply to #13 above, the version on 16.04 is *not* 3.6, but rather
3.4+nmu1ubuntu2 (xenial). Version 3.6, as noted at #7 above, uses a set
of 9 alternative paths, rather than the single path of 3.4.
The solution that has been adopted for multiple installs of Ubuntu,
14.04 and 16.04 is to install
This bug is still (again?) happening to me on 16.04. The ttf-
mscorefonts-downloader repeatedly fails on the first file
(andale32.exe). And this is obviously the 3.6 Debian version, because it
reports multiple mirrors - so far it has been freefr.dl.sourceforge.net
and vorboss.dl.sourceforge.net.

Since November 14th, 2016 the installer (3.4+nmu1ubuntu2) has
consistently failed on new Xenial installations. Before that date it
used to work just fine. Debian version (3.6) works very well on Xenial
and it's distributed to all our machines.
Meanwhile everything works OK on new Trusty installati
Hi Julie,
I know vastly less than you, so your news is actually most reassuring to

Unfortunately the sourceforge links this relies on are now EXCEPTIONALLY
unreliable and have been for the last few weeks - for me and I'm sure
most everyone else most download attempts fail considerably more often
than they succeed now (and this is on a well behaved, rock solid, fibre
connection.)
Not sure how general this observation is, but I can confirm that
*.sourceforge.net is inaccessible (telnet, or ping) from my expressvpn servers.
Disconnecting the vpn makes them available again.
Note that all the 3.6 url's are blocked in this way.

Brian, thanks for looking.
The real problem here is that downloading the font files from
Sourceforge has sometimes worked, and sometimes not.
In true "Read the code, Luke" vein, the difference between versions 3.4
(Ubuntu) and 3.6 (Debian) is that in Ubuntu 3.4 the base path for the download
