Solutions to this problem is to either use a more capable HTTP-client for download to cope with Sourceforge's ads and redirections, or to host the fonts elsewhere. Workarounds by directing the installer to particular mirrors etc may work for a while, and/or from some places, but aren't likely to be reliable in the long term. Less complex servers should be preferred for automated downloads.
