Thread: FW: [ pginstaller-Bugs-1000056 ] DLL not found
Hi guys, I've been getting a few reports of this error with the installer recently, and in a number of cases it's turned out to be a corrupted download. Any chance this could be down to the Gforge download code (is the file streamed through php?) or the pgfoundry vm?

I wonder if it may be caused by the pgFoundry website getting "to a point to busy-ness" then dropping some connections, with the user's browser not letting them know the download finished before it was complete? Not sure if that could be a cause of the problem, but wouldn't be hugely surprised.

Excuse my ignorance here, but does apache/httpd do this? I know it refuses new connections, just never realized it would drop an existing one ... But, that comes back to the questin I asked earlier, if anyone knows an answer to it ... does pgfoundry not have the ability ot support ftp:// protocol? ---- Marc G.

'k, to help a bit here (or so I hope) ... ftp.pgfoundry.org now works ... Also, I've mirrored both gborg/pgfoundry "download directories" into ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/projects, so that they are picked up by the mirrors, and hopefully make it easier for ppl to download (and faster) ...

Cool, thanks MArc. Of course, that nicely bypasses the pgfoundry stats (that I assume are there) :-) /D -----Original Message----- From: Marc G.
