MinGW's mingw-get fails downloading packages

I'm trying to set up MinGW. I have downloaded the latest installer, which installs 开发者_如何学Pythonmingw-get but this utility fails to fetch the packages and gives the following kind of messages:

mingw-get: * ERROR * Get package: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/gcc-4.5.2-1-mingw32-lic.tar.lzma?download: download failed

There is no firewall running. Anyone had the same problem?

Thanks to all.

Try with "Administrator rights" . It helped me.

This problem has happened to me too and was due to - I guess - temporary problems to either the network or sourgeforge itself. I suggest retrying after a while.

This problem comes from the network. I can't download it by using my fiber broadband microtalk communication bit it still downloading by using my jio mobile network.

Try installing it from osdn.net Here's the link: https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/releases/ It's same as sourceforge but was able to connect and download worked for me and my friends!
