Hello, all

While trying to update my installation of MingGW using the
latest and freshly re-installed mingw-get.exe, I receive an
error message about a failed access to:

   http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/pthreads-GC-w32-2.10.mingw32-pre-20160821-1-dll-3.tar.xz?download

due to an error 12157.  That very file is in fact available
in SourceForge for download via the browser at:

   https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw/files/MinGW/Base/pthreads-w32/pthreads-w32-2.10-pre-20160821-1/pthreads-GC-w32-2.10-mingw32-pre-20160821-1-dll-3.tar.xz/download

Does the MinGW installer seek this package at the correct
URL? If it does, then it must be unable to download it
becase my Windows XP does not support the required network
protocol. Is it possible, as an alternative, to upgrade
MinGW from a local, manually downloaded repository of
packages?
