Because it is a "good program" and does exactly as you told it to do in your fink.conf. Have a look at the MirrorOrder: directive. Which can be set using fink configure.
| Or at least, why doesn't Fink check the | other mirrors automatically, instead of prompting me?
This is a design choice. We have often thought on different ways to handle such situations. We do agree that manual interaction is the best choice in this case.
