As TiMan says, the easiest way to go when you can't download a file from a site with Fink, is just to download "manually" the file and mv it to /sw/src. Fink will recognize it the next time you run 'fink install packagename' .

But, if you would like to add an extra source or specify another source for the download of a fink package, the .info file for the package has a Source: line in it.

like:

Source: ftp://ftp.etcetc.com/etc/etc/etc-tar.bz2

You can modify that line to make it work as you want.

Cheers...

If you manually download the src file and place it inteh /sw dir - does fink grab the .info and .patch files for you or do you need to manually grab those also?

Grab those from WHERE?
I had to rename the files AND alter the contents or it wouldn't work

If you find out please let me know.

Sorry - meant woohoo and NOT wahlah :-)
(wahlah is NOT a word - woohoo is a sailfish - i.e. it tries to fly :-)
