Hey list, I'm just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of a mirror that doesn't suck.
I generally don't do alot with postgres other than downloading and installing the newest releases.
Everytime there is a release, it takes forever for it to show up on an ftp server.
This is in the case that the ftp server even works. Now in a case where onelikes to browse with the browser of their choice, it totally blows becauseit's _so_ slow.
So is there maybe an http download somewhere? Or an FTP site that doesn't give me an "directory doesn't exist" error, or one that has more than 15k available, or one that maybe has the newest releases(7.4.1) ? All of those would be perfect...

I just tried :

Which doesn't even have PostgreSQL on it ;) It is the home of opennms

At least in the US, I think I should be pretty decent
(ftp3.us.postgr esql.org). I've rate limited down to 6M/s but that should
be enough for anyone. I rsync every 4 hours. If anyone can't get to the
site of it's slow, please complain to me, I would love to know.

So this is how not to write an email asking people for help, seriously. I just checked the first 5 mirror sites on the ftp mirrors page and everyone of them had the latest code under pub/source/v7.4.1/ (or something similar). What might have been a more helpful email would be to point out that the ftp site are still showing 7.4.0 in the main directory and the directory for latest is also pointing to 7.4.0, both should be updated to 7.4.1. You might have also included a list of the mirror sites you were having trouble with so problems with those sites could be tracked down easier. You might also want to CC we*******@post gresql.org as well as posting to the -general list.
Oh, and for future reference you can download via http at http://developer.postgresql.org/ftpsite/, and also at the sourceforge site http://sourceforge.net/projects/pgsql/ (though I hesitate to mention it because I haven't uploaded 7.4.1 there quite yet...)
I hope this helps.

Dave,
I can go about setting up a web mirror, but i cannot offer a download
mirror if we have to use ftp. Our security policies are not to allow
ftp access. It's just one more thing to worry about if we open up our
firewall. I hope you understand. Will it be a problem only offer the
web mirror? We have a 10mbit/sec connection, but probably wouldn't
want postgresql to take up more than 1mbit/sec on average. we also
have several free gigabytes of disk.
Best Regards,
Brian Hirt

I honestly couldn't say, but I would suspect it would be a *lot* less than that. Whilst PostgreSQL is popular, the type of application that it is means that it will never get anything remotely like the level of downloads of say, Mozilla or OpenOffice. Also are http mirrors acceptable?
Currently only to mirror the web content (this is mainly because the mirror code expects an ftp mirror to use ftp and a web mirror to use http - changing this would require a fair bit of recoding). I would like to offer up one of our servers on mobygames.com because I love postgresql and it would be a way to help out a bit, but I don't really know enough about the requirements right now.
Who should i talk to?
Me please. I'll need your server IP, and the IP of whatever boxes will be used to rsync the content. For web mirrors you must be able to setup a virtual host, for ftp, I alsoneed to know the path to the content (eg. /pub/postgresql/) However, there are already 7 US mirrors.
There's closer to 20, but most are not active :-(
Regards, Dave.
