Actualy the latest mingw release is indeed 3.2.0-rc-1 but the mingw project 
also has releases of individual tools (like gcc 3.4.2)

In this case, Mingw-3.2.0 is a very new release and contains within it :

 gcc-ada-3.4.2.tar.gz
gcc-core-3.4.2.tar.gz
gcc-g++-3.4.2.tar.gz
gcc-g77-3.4.2.tar.gz
gcc-java-3.4.2.tar.gz
gcc-objc-3.4.2.tar.gz
binutils-2.15.91-20040904-1
mingw-runtime-3.6
w32api-3.2
gdb-5.2.1-1
mingw32-make-3.80.0-3
mingw-utils-0.3.tar.gz


The nice thing is this goes most of the way toward the "single download" 
that people tend to want.

I'd still recommend msys as well (for a cygwindll free version of a BASH 
style shell)
