Thread: Bittorrent downloads broken
I'm on this page <http://www.postgresql.org/download/btlist>, click on any of the torrent links, it redirects me back to <http://www.postgresql.org/download/>. Not very useful. -- Peter Eisentraut http://developer.postgresql.org/~petere/

This looks like a problem on bt.postgresql.org... all of its traffic seems to be redirecting to the downloads page. Perhaps a bad re-write rule someplace? Where does the bt subdomain live?

Where does the bt subdomain live? on a vserver ... its running a fairly old version of bittorrent .... does anyone know anything about it, though, to give an idea on how to debug this? ---- Marc G.

'k, further looking ... the torrents on wwwmaster haven't been updated, and, for instance, the 8.0.4 binaries no longer exist, so bt is programmed to send you back to www.postgresql.org/download *if* the torrent you are trying to access doesn't exist ... wwwmaster needs to have its torrent link's updated to reflect the changes ... I believe Devrim's cleaning up of the binaries is what is causing the confusion, since the 'missing ones' that I'm trying to download are the old versions taht he moved out the other week ...

Yes, somehow the script on wwwmaster no longer works! This also caused the planetpostgresql.org links to be completely stopped. Seems this is the first anybody noticed, which makes me kinda doubt if a lot of ppl actually use the torrents :-/ The problem is that "curl" is no longer in the path on wwwmaster, and it used to be. I have updated the script to forcibly add /usr/local/bin, hopefully it'll work now and if so it'll pick up on the next site update. //Magnus > -----Original Message----- > From: pgsql-www-owner@postgresql.org > [mailto:pgsql-www-owner@postgresql.org] On Behalf Of Marc G.

since we pipe all the links through redir, can't we get some stats on this?
