Comment 5 for bug 1840199

Opening the link in a browser works, downloads the font, but from a different mirror site, https://vorboss.dl.sourceforge.net/project/corefonts/the%20fonts/final/andale32.exe .

I think I got the error message while connected to several networks, I don't think the restriction is on my side. Maybe some mirrors of sourceforge.net, which I don't know how they get chosen, do not work?

Here another try, giving me a different result:

This time the andale font gets downloaded, arial gets downloaded, and then it fails with arial bold I assume.
