I don't know what site you found but the GCC team does not provide binary
packages for your platform. So, this is not the right place to ask for such
things. But the GCC homepage lists these resources for the Microsoft Windows
platform (http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html):
* Cygwin http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
* MinGW http://www.mingw.org/
Both of these provide http mirrors of their downloads. Cygwin uses a setup
program which automatically retrieves and installs the requested packages.
Note, that you need to specify GCC explicitely as it is not part of the
default Cygwin installation.
If you need a C/C++ compiler for DOS, then just have a look at DJGPP
(http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/). There are also a few http mirrors available
to download from.
There is also a IDE called Dev-C++ (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html)
which uses the MinGW port of GCC available for free (GPL).
