I'm going to say try again with 5.1.0.  Could this be a proxy issue?

SF changed its UI for the mirroring.  5.0.3 doesn't work at all with 
the new UI.  5.1.0 was created to replace 5.0.3.  5.1.0 downloads would 
have the same effect as entering 
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/FILE-TO-DOWNLOAD in your 
favorite browser URI field.
