Re: Installing Postgres 8.1.4 on Linux RedHat

The links work for me (downloading from australia 2.)

Are you using a proxy server? I do at times from work, and the PG
mirrors don't seem to like proxies - or my proxy doesn't like the PG
mirrors which is probably closer to the point :P (the proxy server
always reports an error contacting the remote site.)

If you are, and can get direct connections to the Net without a proxy,
add an exception for ftp://*.postgresql.org.

By the way the sources don't take too long to build, and I generally
prefer it for the aspect of getting more control over the build, such as
location (or for linking to non-standard libraries such as OpenSSL
(which is in a non-standard directory on my machine).)
