The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
No Postgres Bug! Heavy downloading problems...

Long Description
Greetings and sorry for wasting your time with a bug report on this...
but from most available mirrors, I have tried to download the latest version.
After a maximum of 6% the download stalls on all of them. and even in that time, the download is terribly slow (1 byte
persecond is not unusual) 
I do have an older version, but would like to upgrade... and I can't.
This is annoying.

I hope there is nothing severely wrong, but could it be that there is something fishy witht e files prepared for the
upload?

I hope you can fix this...

Yours,

     Juri Memmert

Hmm.  Where are you trying to download to, exactly (can't tell where you
are from this web-bug-report)?  And what software are you using to try
to do the download?

Hmmm... I just did a transfer and got 37.38KB/sec from the main site.

Use the traceroute command to find out what is slow in your connection
to the site.  If you are on NT I thinkt the command is tracert (should
be in winnt/system32).  You can then see the node that is causing
the slow down.
