Just tested one:

ftp://ftp2.uk.postgresql.org/sites/ftp.postgresql.org/src/7.4.6/postgresql-7.4.6.tar.bz2
Does indeed have MD5 checksum of f0ea2b372a7bdaf2613e92176ebf5e0f

This matches what's in the .md5 file and is listed on Greg's page. Note
that you can't use md5sum --check <file>.md5 but manually comparing the
sums all seems OK.
