Thanx for pointing me in the right direction. changing the fink.conf line "ProxyPassiveFTP:" to "false" seems to do the trick. Which begs the question why is it set that way by default? I did a standard installation and accepted all the defaults, very strange.
But thanx to all who answered.
Cheers
Steve

Just as a shot in the dark, but do you have ProxyPassiveFTP: set to true
in /sw/etc/fink.conf ? I just fetched audiofile from the exact same URL
that you had at the top of your output.

Hi,
either I am a complete idiot (possible) or after reinstalling fink and
xfeee86 (rootless) and Apple's X11, film gimp still refuses to install:
curl -f -L -s -S -O ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/audiofile/0.2/audiofile- 0.2.3.tar.gz curl: (16) Can't connect to ftp server ### execution of curl failed, exit code 16 Downloading the file "audiofile-0.2.3.tar.gz" failed. (1) Give up (2) Retry the same mirror (3) Retry another mirror from your continent (4) Retry another mirrorand every mirror fails, but if I connect to the server manually with ftp (command line or NetFinder) it has no problem. If I try the (echoed) command manually from the command line I get the same error:curl: (16) Can't connect to ftp serverI am at a bit of a loss.... Steve Chambers
