md5 checksum mismatch
I've downloaded several versions of postgresql from several mirrors. On
none of them did the md5 checksums from
http://www.gtsm.com/postgres_sigs.html match the md5 checksum from the
postgresql-*.tar.gz source file I downloaded.
I can't imagine that all these file are corrupted, yet I don't see what I
could be doing wrong.
Has anyone actually done this process successfully? Could you let me know
which version and which mirror?

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.

As a follow-up to my last message, "md5sum --check" does work, you just
need to use one that was built in the last couple of years.
