I just ran "make extract" in /usr/ports/databases/postgresql74-server and got postgresql-base-7.4.6.tar.bz2 and postgresql-opt-7.4.6.tar.bz2 from ftp3.us.postgresql.org without any problems.
Are your connections going through a proxy or some other device that might be interfering with your downloads? Have you tried other download programs like wget, curl, or (nc)ftp?
They go through my firewall. I can't imagine why the transfer would start, and then fail. I just wanted to hear some confirmation that wasn't some mirror problem. I'll have to dig deeper on my end.
Thanks!
