Well, this is a problem with SourceForge's scripting of the download 
page.  There is nothing we can do about it.  Please raise a support 
request directly with SourceForge, and ask them to fix it.

Yes, you can.  The problem with that URI is that the name of the 
mirror is blank.  Paste this partial  URI into the location bar of 
your browser, insert your choice of mirror name, from the list in:
http://mingw.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/mingw/xscripts/x86-mingw32-build.sh.hosts?revision=1.1.1.1&view=markup
(a.k.a. http://tinyurl.com/c2u8f9 to avoid wrapping).

after the `http://', and before `.dl', then hit the `go' button, (or 
pass the resultant complete URI to wget).
