I still see the files:

  https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/downloads/72215/libgcc-9.2.0-3-mingw32-dll-1.tar.xz/
  https://osdn.net/projects/mingw/downloads/72210/libstdc%2B%2B-9.2.0-3-mingw32-dll-6.tar.xz/

The site is a bit slow to load, and you could get a warning about an
expired license, but if you insist, you will get to the DLLs.

They are under "MinGW.OSDN Compiler Collection (GCC)".

I'm sorry about the hassle, but I cannot distribute the binaries of
these DLLs without also distributing the humongous GCC and libstdc++
source tarballs.
