[Rd] Problem installing MinGW 5.0.3: Your internet connection seems to be not permitted or dropped out!

[Spencer Graves]

Hi, All: 

      I'm having trouble installing MinGW 5.0.3, trying to follow Duncan 
Murdoch's suggestions (http://www.murdoch-sutherland.com/Rtools/).  I 
download "MinGW-5.0.3.exe" as he suggested.  After double-clicking on 
it, I get past "Welcome to MinGW" and select either "Download and 
install" or "Download only" and choose to install "Current".  Whether I 
select only "MinGW base tools" or that plus "g++" and "g77" compilers, I 
get the following error message while "Downloading 
mingw-runtime-3.10.tar.gz": 

      "InetClinet plug-in:  Your internet connection seems to be not 
permitted or dropped out!  Please reconnect and click Retry to resume 
installation." 

      After clicking "cancel", I got the following error message: 

downloading mingw-runtime-3.10.tar.gz
SendRequest Error
Could not download 
http://error.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/mingw-runtime-3.10.tar.gz!

      I got this on two computers, one running Windows 2000 server and 
the other using Windows XP 5.1, Service Pack 2. 

      What do you suggest I try to get past this? 
      Thanks,
      Spencer Graves
