GNU GCC Compiler is compiling REALLY slow.
zieQ:
The MinGW installer has some problems, I experienced some, it doesn't download all the files you need sometimes. Try downloading the zip files one by one instead.
You need packages:
- mingw utils
- mingw runtime
- windows api
- gcc-g++
- gcc-core
- make
- (binutils)

I have the feeling you didn't decompress the files the right way. Your dir structure should be something like this:
C:
MinGW
bin
make, gcc, etc
include
lib
....
Anyway, the most bulletproof way to fix your problems and actually start working :P, is to download and install Code::Blocks full setup, which contains a working MinGW installation...

After decompressing the originally downloaded base files, i noticed they made a few more things that i am able to decompress, should i decompress those too?
And i already tried the full setup, thats what got me the crazy problems in the first place.
I've been wondering, does it matter at all what operating system im on? if it does, im on windows 2000.

Yup, so it seems.
Move the whole bunch of .tar.gz files into the folder where MinGW is to be installed (C:\mingw), and then select "Decompress here" or "Unpack here" on each of them.
Here is what my directory layout looks like (working):
