I filed a separate issue 1654702 for the permissions problem.

However, after temporarily fixing permissions of that directory, I still struggle to download the files automatically:

Sourceforge seems to set a mirror per files. Rarely one of the mirrors is hosting the file.

Now that msttfcorefonts-installer tries to download many files, sourceforge sets a separate mirror for each file.

Chances are high that one of the mirrors fails.

If one of the mirror fails msttfcorefonts-installer fails.

I tried about 20 times now and msttfcorefonts-installer never succeeded to download the files.

Suggested fix:
- Use one fixed mirror to download all the files
- And/or: Try multiple times
- And/or: Use reliable hosting
