I don't know how to do it on a Windows system, but I was able to get to
the gimp/win32 site by adding the entry

128.32.112.248 www.gimp.org

to my /etc/hosts file on my Linux system.  This allows my system to
resolve the address rather than calling on my ISP's DNS server.

What's happening is that the link at the www.gimp.org site is for
"www.gimp.org/win32", which is still registered as the old IP address
with the DNS servers (or at least the one I use).
