I'm pretty certain that at least some of those files were available on at least one mirror; if nothing else, http://mirrors.ubuntu.com/mirrors.txt shows http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ as its first entry, and that definitely has that version of lilypond-data. Shouldn't mirror: try other mirrors if one of them 404s? Otherwise it seems that it is likely to fail if any of the mirrors is unreliable, rather than giving me increased reliability which I think should be achievable.
