The mirrors (of which there are about 100, all offering ftp, some http) are all run independently of us. I can't believe they're all dropping the connection like that - are you sure it's not something at your end or your ISP? Have you tried ftp and http? Regards, Dave

You could also try a download manager that can resume downloads. -- Heikki Linnakangas EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com

We have many thousands of downloads every month, but unfortunately you're the first person who has reported this issue. > I want you to know this Situation. > For me the solution is to find someone who have fast-debit connection to > try again a last time. I think it was Heikki who suggested using a ftp program that can resume broken downloads - one suggestion would be Filezilla (http://filezilla-project.org). I haven't used it for a year or so, but it certainly used to be very good. You can download straight from one of the mirrors, eg: ftp://ftp3.fr.postgresql.org/pub/postgresql/ > Your response is a reason to see more over and that Postgree could be > quite interessant (because there is someone in the back) and is not like > many preytendly (free) freeware. There is a large and friendly community behind PostgreSQL - we're happy to help. > I'm responsible of a free french GIS software and want to evaluate > Postgree (possibly to integrate in it) Ahh, in which case you'll probably also want to look at PostGIS - http://www.postgis.org/ Regards, Dave
