[Richard Huxton <dev(at)archonet(dot)com>]

John Masters spotted this problem - still present with Kent's mirror 
service (ftp2.uk.postgresql.org from our point of view).

I have setup a Postgres server on Debian Etch and successfully connected
to it with various *nix clients but I now have to connect a WinXP
client. On accessing the Postgres site I am directed to a download page,
click on the appropriate link and get automatically directed to a
University of Kent site. No problem as I am on the Kent/Surrey border so
this is probably the nearest site. However, on looking at the U of K
page that has come up I see in the top left hand corner  the words "This
page does not exist". Now I could have sworn this page existed else how
could I have known it didn't exist?

Whilst I can appreciate the funny side of this situation I do need to be
able to install a PGSQL client on a windows machine. At the moment,
whichever 'national flag' I select from the Postgres site, I am
redirected to the Kent University page which doesn't exist.

Could the philosophy students please return control of the site to the
IT dept.? Thanks!

John
