I talked to Dave Page and it seems the pginstaller (non-bitRock) Win32
installers were _not_ moved from their beta holding area to the download
section.
They have just been moved and the URLs are now:
ftp://developer.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v8.3.11/win32/
ftp://developer.postgresql.org/pub/binary/v8.2.17/win32/
They will propogate to the main download pages in 24 hours.
Thanks for the report, and sorry for the problem.
