The jdbc.postgresql.org web server is reporting a HTTP Content-Type:
header of text/plain when serving up the jar files for download. This
causes the browser to display the binary file instead of prompting for a
place to save it. My local debian unstable system has a
application/x-java-archive jar
line in mime.types in the apache conf directory. Perhaps you could do the
same for the jdbc web server?

The jdbc.postgresql.org web server is incorrectly configured and responds
with a Content-Type: text/plain header for the jar file, so your browser
is trying to display it as text. Try right clicking on the link to the
jar file and selecting "Save Link Target As..." or something similar.

TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command
(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)
