Mudongliang:
Sorry for the half-cocked answer. Your problem is obviously not with Debian
but a network problem. Downloads from downloads.sourceforge.net are working
fine here at this side of the globe.
Are you using a proxy? Can you download anything else from sourceforge? Do you
experience this download problem only with that very site?
The downloads from your Debian mirror seem to work but is the integrity of
ttf-mscorefonts-installer OK?
Now I don't know how far I will be able to help with your network problem.
More information is needed, provided you care to investigate deeper.
Wish you the best
Eike
