Thank you for taking the time to help make Ubuntu better, and
responding.

If you open up the url
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe on that machine,
do you get a download?  (in a browser)

I just tried and the file downloaded for me.

I now suspect you have a firewall, or site rules that restrict your
ability to download .exe files or has restrictions on certain sites
(such as sourceforge)

Are you on a private LAN? corporate LAN? or school or other restricted
site?

I booted up a Lubuntu 18.04 LTS machine that didn't have the ttf-
mscorefonts-installer package installed, apt installed it without issue.
I do believe you have a LAN or local network restriction blocking you.

This may be better handled as a question; ie. it's not a bug in the
software I still believe, but a restriction for your site you need help
working your way around.
