title: MinGW's mingw-get fails downloading packages
body: <p>I'm trying to set up MinGW. I have downloaded the latest installer, which installs mingw-get but this utility fails to fetch the packages and gives the following kind of messages:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>mingw-get: <strong>* ERROR *</strong> Get package: <a href="http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gcc-4.5.2-1-mingw32-lic.tar.lzma?download" rel="noreferrer">http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gcc-4.5.2-1-mingw32-lic.tar.lzma?download</a>: download failed</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>There is no firewall running. Anyone had the same problem?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks to all.</p>
