I'm trying to set up MinGW. I have downloaded the latest installer, which installs mingw-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.

Are you on your home network, or at the office? You are being blocked from downloading the setup files. Either it's a firewall issue, a network issue, or something on your computer.
It is essential that the installation path does not contain any spaces. Therefore, you cannot install MinGW-w64 in Program Files. We recommend to create a folder mingw-w64 on your system drive (e.g., C:\mingw). Install a current version and specify win32 as thread when requested.
Try with "Administrator rights" . It helped me.
