I've got kde4win installed and working now, by using the sourceforge 
mirror. I retried the mirrorservice.org mirror, and again didn't get 
shared-mime-info; I note it has now disappeared from the mirror list. I 
also tried heanet.ie and scarlet.be, both of which gave errors, and 
didn't download anything.

Is anyone else having trouble with the mirrors?
