Vincent, thank you for the heads up. With some extra patience, I had no
problem retrieving MPFR but it just took some time that's all.

Thank you for your contribution to MPFR. It plays a vital role in GCC and
there are some people who are doing some serious numerical solutions that
require Fortran as well with OpenMP!

Best wishes,

Tabitha
