The "distfiles" mirrors are guaranteed to fail for a while when new sources are added to the distribution--either new versions of existing packages, new packages, additional sources for docs, what have you. There's a FAQ on this.
Also, because this failure is expected to happen sometimes, recent fink (since 0.24.8) will try only two master mirrors, instead of trying every last one.
When 0.25.x is released, you'll be able to put 'SkipPrompts: fetch' in your fink.conf, and Fink will automatically keep trying mirrors until it gives up, instead of waiting for your input every time a mirror fails.
