Operating system:   Windows XP
Description:        Download Trouble
Details:

i'm trying to download postgresql-8.2.9-1.zip from
http://www.postgresql.org/ftp/binary/v8.2.9/win32/.  i click the
postgresql-8.2.9-1.zip link and land on
http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/download/mirrors-ftp/binary/v8.2.9/win32/pos
tgresql-8.2.9-1.zip.  the mirror page recognizes USA and states "Your
download will start automatically from this mirror in 5 seconds unless you
select another mirror in the list below."

the page will continuously refresh but the download doesn't begin.  i tried
clicking on HTTP and FTP but both links give me a "The webpage cannot be
found" in IE7 and in FF3 i get a "550
/pub/mirrors/postgresql/binary/v8.2.9/win32/postgresql-8.2.9-1.zip: No such
file or directory" alert pop up for FTP and "The requested URL
/pub/mirrors/postgresql/binary/v8.2.9/win32/postgresql-8.2.9-1.zip was not
found on this server." when i click on HTTP.

thoughts?

thank you for your time

I to got 404 - File Not Found errors on all the US links and a random
sampling of others.  so its not just you.

it appears only 8.2.11, .12, and .13 are still on the servers.
http://ftp9.us.postgresql.org/pub/mirrors/postgresql/binary/

why do you want 8.2.9, thats a rather obsolete version.
