I don't know where exactly you downloaded this installer, but know that there are quite some old downloads of older GCC+MinGW-w64 versions.
You can get a recent standalone version for Windows without installer from https://winlibs.com/.
Or more advanced command line users may choose to install MSYS2 shell and install MinGW-w64 via its package manager (pacman).

I have the same error message:
Cannot download
repository.txt
and I have 2 alternative solutions to install MinGW-w64 in windows :
SOLUTION 1:
Install chocolatey. Then type the following command line:
c:> choco install mingw
SOLUTION 2:
Download MinGW build ("native Windows" build). Then I was able to make GFortran work on JetBrain CLion.

January 15, 2018How do I fix ming-gw cannot download repository.txt error?
I had to do this myself just now, so here are the full instructions for anyone who needs them: Install msys2-x86_64-20240727.exe from https://www.msys2.org/ Add the GCC directory to your environment variables Type environment into your start menu and select Edit environment variables for your account Scroll down to Path in the user section and click Edit... Click New and paste in C:\msys64\ucrt64\bin (or wherever you installed MSYS2 to) (Optional) Also add C:\msys64\usr\bin, which will let you run commands like ls or rm from anywhere, not just GCC Open MSYS2/MSYS2 UCRT64 from your start menu Type pacman -S --needed base-devel mingw-w64-ucrt-x86_64-toolchain Run VSCode and install the C/C++ extension from Microsoft Open a .c file Click the dropdown next to the ▷ icon in the tab bar near the top of the window, set it to Debug C/C++ and run your file If you have a project with more than one .c file or libraries you need to link, you'll either have to create a custom launch command that explicitly tells GCC what files you want it to use, or use a CMake project and open that.

HELP!!!
March 5, 2016 - This link: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/ gives an installer, mingw-w64-install.exe for US users, but here in Sweden it gives mingw-w64-v4.0.5.tar.bz2 The installer I find somewhere (have forgotten the URL) gives this error: Cannot download repository.txt [0] Using cygwin or msys2 is too scary for the kind of people I want to be able to make small modifications to a simple file they can share among them in groups using the same hardware.

If you don't see the folder or file, my guess is that your firewall/anti-virus is blocking the file from being downloaded. You could probably try turning it off to see. Or you just go to · https://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains targetting Win64/Personal Builds/mingw-builds/
