I had the same problem with 7.10 msttcorefonts and sourceforge. Seems it was a dns lookup problem in my Ubuntu system. After following these instructions (for edit I used sudo gedit) I downloaded the fonts no problems. : -

Edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf
Add this line at the end of the file:

prepend domain-name-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;

replace the xxx with your DNS's IP addresses. I have two of them.
After rebooting, this IP's are added to resolv.conf on reboot, and everything works fine.
