True. I got confused because I'm in another continent and fink configure only showed one option. Choosing North America and United States works though. * Run fink configure. If Fink asks you a question and you want to keep the current setting, type Enter. * Answer Y to the question All mirrors are set. Do you want to change them? * Type Enter (default answer) on that master mirrors question. * Choose North America as the continent. * Choose United States as the country. * When Fink asks you Choose a mirror for 'Rsync SelfUpdate', choose a mirror other than msn.wi.us. * When Fink asks you Choose a mirror for 'Apt-Get Repository', choose a mirror other than msn.wi.us.
