Adrian,
I am doing same steps as you. And my byte count matches yours. It is a RHEL 6.5 Linux machine. If the byte count matches how can it be incomplete? I am baffled. Thanks for any clues!
bash-4.1$ ls -all
total 132452
-rwxrwxrwx 1 apatnaik oprofile 37659362 Oct 20 20:41 postgresql-9.4.4-3-linux-x64.run
-rw-r----- 1 apatnaik oprofile 37548416 Oct 22 12:51 postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run
bash-4.1$ chmod 755 postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run
bash-4.1$ sudo ./postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run
[sudo] password for apatnaik:
Installer payload initialization failed. This is likely due to an incomplete or corrupt downloaded file

Ok, i am trying to determine why I am getting errors. Is it possible
that my browser is corrupting the transfer?
Maybe, though I used FireFox to download also. I would go to wherever the file has been downloaded on your computer and delete it and try the download again. The file I got was:
37548416 Oct 21 09:20 postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run
CCing list
I am seeing: Installer payload initialization failed. This is likely due
to an incomplete or corrupt downloaded file.
I am a Linux newbie. Is there a way to test if the transfers are getting
corrupted?
after download, did you just change permissions and ran sudo
./postgres.run file?
Yes, so:
aklaver@killi:~/Downloads> chmod 755 postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run
aklaver@killi:~/Downloads> sudo ./postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run
The reason for using installer is that it goes through all the steps and
instantiates a sid.
What is a sid?
The purpose of this installation is for me to have a database to rest
the restoration of pg_dump.
You can also get that with a Yum install, see below for more:

Thank you.

I used the same link:

I chose /*Version 9.5.0 Beta 1*/ Linux x86-64
I downloaded(postgresql-9.5.0-beta1-linux-x64.run) and ran it. I did
not actually complete the install as I already have Postgres
installed on this machine. This is on openSUSE 13.2, not that it
should matter.
Then, I tried 9.4 for Linux x86-64
Has anyone downloaded/installed within last 2 days? my OS is
RHEL 6.5
I am using the Linux machine's firefox browser to download.
is there a way to use yum to get the same installer program that
goes
through all the steps?
No, Yum will not use the installer program, it will use the RH
native packaging.
Is there a particular reason you want the installer?
Something specific you want to install?
Please advise. thanks

Where did you download from?
Today, I attempted to download from the site. I notice
9.5 is
there, but
getting lots of errors:
Looks like you are trying to run a *.exe(Windows) file on a
Linux
machine, that is the source of the errors.
1) when downloading and running latest
rchive:
/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe
[/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe]
End-of-central-directory signature not found.
Either this
file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part
archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile
comment will
be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
zipinfo: cannot find zipfile directory in one of
/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe or
/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe.zip, and
cannot find
/home/apatnaik/Downloads/postgresql-9.4.5-1-windows-x64.exe.ZIP,
period.
2) Then I tried to scp from the other machine and changed
permissions to
777 and used sudo to execute the file but get this:
bash-4.1$ chmod 777 postgresql-9.4.4-3-linux-x64.run
bash-4.1$ sudo ./postgresql-9.4.4-3-linux-x64.run
Installer payload initialization failed. This is likely
due to an
incomplete or corrupt downloaded file.
What is the recommended 9.4 version to download from
and the steps?
What OS and version?
I want to use the graphical installer since I used it
last time.
Assuming you mean the EDB installer:

Thanks a lot!!
