[Bug 1713615] Re: ttf-mscorefonts-installer fails because Redirection from https to http is forbidden

Mon Apr 29 19:03:00 UTC 2019

The problem here seems to be that the files are already downloaded, and
when asking sourceforge to continue the download, it does the redirect
rather than responding with a 416 error with the appropriate content-
range as it should.
