The base URLs have changed - mainly because of just this type of problem. Hardcoding something against "ftp9.us.postgresql.org" was wrong in the first place, but lots of people did that. Unfortunately, that machine is outside the control of the PostgreSQL community, so there's no control of when things like this happen.

Yeah, it's a hassle but easily remedied by going to the postgresql.org site and finding the ftp link for the source download.

It's worth noting that editing the url manually in the file may disrupt a 'brew update'. Since 'brew update' is essentially a git update, modified files cause problems because git stops the update to ask you to commit your changes. Currently there is no 'force' behavior. For more details, see this link - github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/14224
