Where did you find that URL? Any /redir/ URL should be on wwwmaster
not www (as they seem to be when I check the website).

Clicking through from the beta links:

It's still happening right now.  What's odd is the url with the
refresh is wwwmaster.postgresql.org, maybe it's a weidness with
safari?  It works fine in Firefox.  Perhaps it would be better to
change:

<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="5;/redir/198/h/source/v8.4beta/postgresql-8.4beta1.tar.bz2"
/>

to

<meta http-equiv="refresh"
content="5;http://wwwmaster.postgresql.org/redir/198/h/source/v8.4beta/postgresql-8.4beta1.tar.bz2"
/>

Hmm, yes I see it now. Magnus; I assume this broke when you re-wrote
the redirector? Can you fix please?

Indeed. And the code attempted to do htat. Except it accessed
master_server instead of masterserver in the settings array.

Fix applied, and update queued. Should be updated in <10 minutes, can
you please try again then? :-)
