this only represents since 8:30am this morning ...
/source/v7.0.3/postgresql-7.0.3.support.tar.gz => 9
/source/v7.0.3/postgresql-7.0.3.test.tar.gz => 3
/source/v7.0.3/postgresql-7.0.3.docs.tar.gz => 10
/source/v7.0.3/postgresql-7.0.3.tar.gz => 22
/source/v7.0.3/postgresql-7.0.3.base.tar.gz => 9
on a side note, we almost have as many downloads of psqlodbc in that time

/odbc/psqlodbc_home.html => 15
/odbc/versions/psqlodbc-07_01_0002.zip => 4
/odbc/versions/psqlodbc-07_01_0003.zip => 4
/odbc/versions/psqlodbc-07_01_0004.zip => 18
so it isn't a "fictitous crowd" that is going with the smaller chunks ...
its about 30% on a very small sample ...
