It would be a lot easier to help you if you had shown the URL that 
returned this error. I'll switch on my crystal ball, but it is not 
always reliable.

This source file, which comes from the xmkmf package, has sourceforge as 
its original location. The mirror that didn't work must therefore be one 
of the master mirrors.

Indeed, none of the master mirrors is carrying this source file. This is 
strange, the file should have been there since 3 weeks. Some bug, no 
doubt, but hard to guess what kind of bug it could be.

Option (5) works for me, reliably.
