Have tried on Firefox, IE and Filezilla. It works fine for me from the three Australian mirrors. *however* they seem to be unfriendly to my firewall - I can't get them with firefox from inside of it. But I can get it from the outside. Try the Swedish mirror, that one works from both sides of my fw. > 2 No file seems to be available on ftp, or bit torrent. They're all ftp links... The web is used only to select which mirror to use. No torrents, that's correct - we only provide those for release versions that get a lot moer downloads. > In regard to your comment about "equally lacking in > information" to my post script it is both offensive, arrogant > and unhelpful.

In a half-hearted defent I'll say that I did read *your* post about the sanme way - if you re-read it, you'll probably see why. And I still stand by that the reason for it not being responded to may be a lack of information. That said, yeah, there are better ways to say that. //Magnus > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Magnus Hagander [mailto:mha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > > Sent: 03 October 2005 18:24 > > To: John Craddock; pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > > Subject: RE: Postgresql Vb.1 beta 2 win binary > > > > > > > Hello all, Is anyone having trouble downloading the Win 32 binary > > > announced on September 18?
