The pointer in http://www.postgresql.org/index.html to the British
mirror (http://www2.uk.postgresql.org) actually takes you to the UK
mirror service home page.
It should point instead to
http://www2.uk.postgresql.org/sites/www.postgresql.org/
Similarly, the FTP pointer ftp://ftp2.uk.postgresql.org gives
"connection refused". It should point to
ftp://ftp2.uk.postgresql.org/sites/ftp.postgresql.org/
In both cases, the domain can equally well be www.mirror.ac.uk.

Then the server is misconfigured. www2.uk.postgresql.org should already
be pointing to /sites/www.postgresql.org. I'll send the admin a note.

If it's giving a connection refused message, the server's down. I'll
include this in the note.

We stopped doing that because if a mirror goes away and it's indexed
in a search engine there are a number of dead links.
