I generally just keep trying 3 and 4 more or less randomly until one works. In the worst cases, this could mean trying a dozen different mirrors before you find an available copy, but it always seems to work eveentually. Worst case scenario, search Sherlock or Google for the file you want to download -- gimp-1.2.2.tar.gz (though leaving off .gz and .tar.gz can help sometimes (Google thinks .gz might be a top level domain :) ) -- and once you've got it, move it into /sw/src. Then when you try Fink again it'll see that the file it wants is already available and won't try to get a new copy from there. There are other ports of Gimp, but you're probably better off using this method, as doing do will help you get the hang of downloading other problematic packages for Fink. In the long run you may find that a lot more useful... :) -- Chris Devers [EMAIL PROTECTED] Apache / mod_perl / http://homepage.mac.com/chdevers/resume/ "More war soon.
