That would be your problem right there. IE's handling of FTP sessions
is notoriously quirky. Do yourself a favor and download a shareware
FTP program, or open up a DOS prompt.

oops on Joshua's part:

     ftp://ftp9.us.postgresql.org/pub/mirrors/postgresql

just accessed it from here using IE ...

When you login anonymously you must use the username anonymous and send an
email address as the password - you are probably suplying a password that
does not contain an @-sign and so isnot accepted as a valid password.
