I have several Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS machines with added UbuntuZilla repository:
grep -v ^# /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*.list | grep http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt
/etc/apt/sources.list:deb http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/ubuntuzilla/mozilla/apt all main
I added this repository to get SeaMonkey deb-package:
$ apt-cache policy seamonkey-mozilla-build
seamonkey-mozilla-build:
Installed: 2.49.2-0ubuntu1

This week sudo apt-get update shows errors about this repository:

I'm not sure about message "We're sorry -- the Sourceforge site is currently in Disaster Recovery mode, and currently requires the use of javascript to function. Please check back later.".
What should I do?
Note: the same html file is returned when I install/reinstall ttf-mscorefonts-installer package (has files on http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/).
