Probably just very unstable mirroring. I downloaded the fonts with wget as per the original bug report (needed to restart wget once), and did

$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure ttf-mscorefonts-installer

I gave the download directory as path inside the terminal-dialogue that appears. This solved the problem.

Not really a problem of the package, then. Perhaps have the package retry some limited number of attempts, and only then give up?
