Sorry for the disadvantages...
Sorry to opening an old thread but I have the same problem. trying to install i686-4.9.1-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev1.7z and it fails exactly the same as described. I am using Win7 64bit and have northon internet security. I heard some have problems with antivirus so I disabled temporarily norton but the problem persists.
On the other hand, I have downloaded the i686-4.9.1-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev1.7z how can I install it. If I just unzip Eclipse does not recognise the toolchain.
I would really appreciate some help.

Downloaded mingw64 more then 10 times and still run into the exact same problem. No Anti-virus or other secrity software activated, Win 8.1 pro, administrator account.
The installer says "Decompressing file... i686-4.9.1-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev1.7z"
I looked in the temp folder for this file and found "\AppData\Local\Temp\gentee12\i686-4.9.1-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev1.7z" But this file is 20k and looks like a manifest rather than a .7z file the contents:
"4.8.1|i686 |posix|dwarf|rev2 |http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/4.8.1/threads-posix/dwarf/i686-4.8.1-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev2.7z

There is a file next to it that looks like a .7z file called "down.txt" which is 47mb. Perhaps this is the problem?

Hi guys, I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and I've also run into this problem.
Turning off Avira doesn't work, and at one point I uninstalled Avira and tried to extract the files yet in all cases, Error Res still pops up. Anyone else find a solution?

I'm not sure if I'm having the same problem. This time I have "The file has been downloaded incorrectly!".
Looking into the temp directory, I find a file i686-4.9.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev0.7z, which is indeed a html file stating a "404 Not Found" error.
So it seems, the installer likes to download something via http using a wrong address.
(Can one find out, what it likes to download?)
This is on a VirtualBox Windows 8.1 Pro 64Bit machine.
(Bug should be reopened?)
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Changing architecture in the installer to x86_64 resolves the problem. So, the selections neither get checked if they create a valid configuration nor will a meaningful error message be generated.
Installer should check the http response for 200 or similar.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I've just experienced the same problem. I get the "error res" message when I choose the i686 architecture. It seems to install fine when I choose x86_64.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I don't understand how the status of this bug is "closed-fixed".
Because before the fix this bug has been reproduced on my laptop using Wi-Fi, and when running the installer on Linux using Wine.
In addition, after this fix, some users have reported to me that the problem is solved.

It seems to be fixed for older versions (4.8.2 iirc). But for newer ones, the download URL is incorrect. I would say that this bug is not fixed for every version/target combination.

Yes, as I said before, I got the problem when I chose the i686 architecture. I've tried to reproduce this bug again, but this time I've hit bug #410 (Cannot download repository.txt [0]), which, like this bug, has a "closed-fixed" Status, when it's clear that these bugs are not fixed for all of us. :(

Yes this error always occurs.
Please try to download the installer again. Maybe the .exe is corrupted.
I still have the problem.
md5sum mingw-w64-install.exe
8d148a84d7535254eff4506132085b79 *mingw-w64-install.exe
correct.
Hmm...

As a temporary solution you can download this build from[1] and extract the downloaded archive.
Or 4.9.1 version from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/4.9.1/threads-posix/seh/x86_64-4.9.1-release-posix-seh-rt_v3-rev0.7z

I've also just run into this exact error on Win7 64bit and in my case it went away when I disabled my anti-virus (AVG Free).
The problem was also in my case caused by the anti-virus (AVG 2013 (not free)). Thanks Mike.
Sorry for the noise niXman, I should have tested without the anti-virus first. Thanks for the support.
I have exact the same problem too. I'm using Avast Free and I've uninstalled it just for some time to see if it solve the problem, but it didn't.

Have the same problem with installing mingw64
I´m using win8.1 64bit, disabling my AVG free antivirus didn´t help.
I tried simply unzipping the file posted above but the toolchain doesn´t get recoginzed that way.

I'm having the same problem. Windows 7 professional, no antivirus enabled.

I'm still having this issue when trying to install gcc 4.8.3 or higher versions. 4.8.1 and 4.8.2 work for me.
OS: Windows 8.1 x64
Please show the MD5 of the mingw-w64-install.exe
It's the same that is noted on the website, c33aec60739c44f208f171a74235b742.

same error here
windows 7 64bit
Please update the installer.
"the download will start in 0 second" but nothing happened
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/installer/mingw-w64-install.exe
thanks, it works.
one last question...how does MingW-w64 work together with MSYS?
This is still a problem, just tested on 2 xp machines here.
ERROR RES & as soon as download process starts.
Please update the installer and show the MD5 of installer executable.
Same issue ("ERROR res") here as well.
Looking into the temp directory, I find a file i686-4.9.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev0.7z, which is indeed a html file stating a "404 Not Found" error.
So it seems, the installer likes to download something via http using a wrong address.

Ok - had a look into it, and it requested:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mingw-w64/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/4.9.2/threads-posix/dwarf/i686-4.9.2-release-posix-dwarf-rt_v3-rev0.7z?r=&ts=1367578968&use_mirror=garr
which got the 404 response.
Changing architecture in the installer to x86_64 resolves the problem. So, the selections neither get checked if they create a valid configuration nor will a meaningful error message be generated.
Installer should check the http response for 200 or similar.
I've just experienced the same problem. I get the "error res" message when I choose the i686 architecture. It seems to install fine when I choose x86_64.
BTW, this is the md5sum of the installer executable [1]:
c33aec60739c44f208f171a74235b742 *mingw-w64-install.exe
I don't understand how the status of this bug is "closed-fixed".

Sure. What should I do?

I worked around it by downing 4.9.1 7z file from https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win64/Personal%20Builds/mingw-builds/4.9.1/threads-posix/seh/x86_64-4.9.1-release-posix-seh-rt_v3-rev0.7z/download?use_mirror=iweb&r=&use_mirror=iweb as mentioned in earlier post.
Then by unpacking the archive and adding the bin to my windows PATH I could use gcc sucessfully. (I was trying to build gluegen and jogl to generate a unit test for a bug report.)
Thanks for supplying this useful binary.
I tested the latest version of the installer. The issue with wrong download URLs seems to be fixed.
Thanks,
Marco
I cannot reproduce this bug anymore with the latest installer. Thank you.
I am getting cannot download repository.txt(0) error. Any idea what's going on?
I have the same issue
I am getting same "ERROR res" message. I did a lot of testing. Sorry, I already tried posting several times, and lost the message when it asked me to log in again. Anyway, this problem is not fixed.
