For the first patch, heanet.dl.sourceforge.net IS an autogen link
already, just giving preference to the heanet site for the redirection
rather than picking at random near you as the downloads.sf.net link
will, if it succeeds. Picking at random doesn't guarantee you'll get a
good connection even if closer, so for the users that have no
problems getting to heanet, which I think is the majority, changing the
link will probably cause them to have problems. If anything, a patch
that prompts for a file on the local hard drive if the download fails
would be the most generic option. This would allow anyone to use
whatever means they have to successfully get the file and use it.

If the patch is used, use a link that addresses the file directly, as I
outline generically in another post. That heanet hangs is probably
due to there being somewhere in the server hops between Singapore,
California, US (sf.net) and Ireland (heanet.ie) an older server, or servers,
that only forwards files up to a certain size or is so slow it times out
after only a few megabytes one of the other servers in the chain, but
sometimes you will luck out and skip these so get the higher speeds.
Using the direct address will at least cut out the leg to California, if
the hangup happens with a server in that chain.

Also, the latest full MSYScore is the 2008.08.26 version, not the
2007.01.19 one. You can download that and change msys1.11.py to
look for where you put it on your own system, if you want to try it,
such as:

> +C:\Temp\msysCORE-1.0.11-2008.08.26-1.tar.bz2
or
> +C:\Temp\msysCORE-1.0.11-2007.01.19-1.tar.bz2
> """
