I agree, especially given the postgres pages are not explicit/clear that the download link is a 3rd party link. The OPs question was quite reasonable and all that was required was to point them to EDB for assistance. Thankfully, a number of community members did politely do this and I'm sure the OP was appreciative for the pointers. It has also highlighted an area for possible clarification/improvement on the postgres.org site. -- Tim Cross
