Well maybe you should check your investment. I just downloaded the zip
installer
<http://downloads.enterprisedb.com/postgresql/postgresql-8.4.0-1-windows-binaries.zip>
and the D/L speed never exceeded 200KB/s. The average speed was 86KB/s. I
usually get 1,2MB/s for downloads from Microsoft (which also use Akami AFAIK).
