Thread: Windows Download

I have setup a Postgres server on Debian Etch and successfully connected
to it with various *nix clients but I now have to connect a WinXP
client. On accessing the Postgres site I am directed to a download page,
click on the appropriate link and get automatically directed to a
University of Kent site. No problem as I am on the Kent/Surrey border so
this is probably the nearest site. However, on looking at the U of K
page that has come up I see in the top left hand corner  the words "This
page does not exist". Now I could have sworn this page existed else how
could I have known it didn't exist?

Whilst I can appreciate the funny side of this situation I do need to be
able to install a PGSQL client on a windows machine. At the moment,
whichever 'national flag' I select from the Postgres site, I am
redirected to the Kent University page which doesn't exist.

Could the philosophy students please return control of the site to the
IT dept.? Thanks!

You're right - there's something wrong there. I'll pass this on to the
website team.

As a quick solution, choose "browse the download mirrors" from the main
download page and try a different server.

I've fixed a bug that most likely caused the redirect to the wrong place.

I cannot reproduce that - I get redirected to whichever mirror I click
on. Anyone else?

Thanks for the report, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
