Not sure what readline has to do with the original question
, but

for that file at least, the md5 checksum is not what's listed:

MD5 (postgresql-8.4.1.tar.gz) = efb12995609aaba2ee5d43b03be161c6
(pulled from a US mirror)

hassan@ceylon:/tmp> md5sum postgresql-8.4.1.tar.gz
3546300baee928ce0f254aafdfa6a1dc  postgresql-8.4.1.tar.gz
hassan@ceylon:/tmp>

Seems like something's not right there :-)
