Thread: download problems

Hi,

I'm having a really stupid problem -- it seems to be impossible to
download postgre.  All of the US mirrors timeout.  Is this normal?
There are no apparent problems with my connection.

ftp3.us.postgresql.org is working for me.

Postgres, PostgreSQL, psql, pgsql, but not "postgre," please :).

Odd.  Pgsql's download servers are *usually* very fast.  Testing, I
was just getting full bandwidth (which is only 16.5k/s on my l'il
ol' 144k IDSL ckt.) from the fftp3.us server.
