Comment 43 for bug 1713615

I tried:

/usr/lib/apt/apt-helper download-file http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/andale32.exe andale32.exe

Yesterday it worked several times in a row, today it has failed several times in a row. I agree this depends on which mirrors you hit. Previously, I got it to work by switching my internet connection from fixed line to 3G.

Notice the error:
E: Failed to fetch https://tenet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the fonts/final/andale32.exe
The directory name 'the fonts' contains a space, which was the bug fixed in LP: #1651923
Is that bug fixed for all conditions?
