hi guys, i'm trying to install mingw from sf.net. but it's way too slow. i've read a few posts about the slow download from sf.net, and so i changed my default mirror to one i know is faster. but the installer doesn't know who i am on sf.net, so i don't see how that helps... generally, downloads hang around 100K, but below, libiconv stalls at 450k. it took around 5 minutes to download 450k.
