Why are the mingw files split between two different hosting platforms? Currently sourceforge is broken as far as mingw-get is concerned. Unless one performs a complicated procedure involving HEAD requests it simply is not possible to perform any kind of automated download of the type that mingw-get performs. When a new platform was chosen why were all of those files left on sourceforge? Surely it would have made sense to duplicate the entire set of files on osdn.net so that a fresh install might work.
