There are two flavors of the autotools, see
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.mingw.msys/4309/focus=4324>.

wget works just fine with sourceforge, e.g.

$ for pkg in autoconf-2.61 automake-1.10 libiconv-1.11 \
             gettext-0.16.1 gettext-devel-0.16.1; do \
  wget -nv \
  http://downloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/$pkg-MSYS-1.0.11.tar.bz2; \
  done

The downloads.sourceforge.net URL above will http-redirect to a random
mirror.  You can also just pick your desired mirror URL and use that
directly as sometimes you get redirected to a mirror very far from you.
