Обсуждение: Mirror problems for download
Not being subscribed to any more appropriate list, I post this here on hackers. I just wanted to download the postgresql-8.0.9 tarball. The page I got was this: Choose a download mirror Downloading: /source/v8.0.9/postgresql-8.0.9.tar.gz We could not query the database or no mirrors could be found! Download PostgreSQL from the primary site Read this if you would like to host a mirror. Of course the primary FTP site is already unavailable (530 - maximum number of users reached). I get the same error for older releases, too. Can someone look into this? Best Regards Michael Paesold [ CC: to webmaster@postgresql.org ]

Indicates that the popularity of PostgreSQL is at a level where the current resources are reaching thier limits and more mirror sites may be needed. I haven't noticed any torrent files for postgreSQL releases - maybe we can look into setting this up to share the load, particularly around release times. -- Shane Ambler Postgres@007Marketing.com Get Sheeky @ http://Sheeky.Biz

Can someone > look into this? Thanks for reporting this. It has now been fixed - it was a problem with the mirror checking script being fooled by a temporary file that couldn't be removed because it was owned by the wrong user. Db is updating now, all mirrors should be back in 10 minutes or so. (Man, it's convenient with wireless internet on the airplane somtimes...) //Magnus

We used to release torrents but stopped because they weren't all that popular. Search the archives for details. -- Jim Nasby jim@nasby.net EnterpriseDB http://enterprisedb.com 512.569.9461 (cell)

Search the archives for details. Not only that, it also didn't really help anybody given that the postgresql distribution files are so small. Also, ifr it wasn't clear, this was *not* a load case. It was a case of a dangling file with incorrect permissions that blocked a script from doing it's job. A permanent fix is being worked on. //Magnus
