The problem appears to be slow DNS servers for cern.ch:

#  wget --continue --tries=1 --dns-timeout=10 --connect-timeout=5 
--read-timeout=300  --directory-prefix . -c 
ftp://root.cern.ch/root/ttf/ttf_fonts.tar.gz
--2009-12-28 10:54:17--  ftp://root.cern.ch/root/ttf/ttf_fonts.tar.gz
           => `./ttf_fonts.tar.gz'
Resolving root.cern.ch... failed: Connection timed out.
wget: unable to resolve host address `root.cern.ch'

If I change the timeouts to 20 seconds:
#  wget --continue --tries=1 --dns-timeout=20 --connect-timeout=20 
--read-timeout=300  --directory-prefix . -c 
ftp://root.cern.ch/root/ttf/ttf_fonts.tar.gz
--2009-12-28 10:54:37--  ftp://root.cern.ch/root/ttf/ttf_fonts.tar.gz
           => `./ttf_fonts.tar.gz'
Resolving root.cern.ch... 128.142.141.37
Connecting to root.cern.ch|128.142.141.37|:21... connected.

So the timeouts should be changed, and/or canonical should mirror this file.
