If I copy the URL "http://distfiles.opendarwin.org/fink-0.18.0.tar.gz"; to Download Wizard (1.5) it succeeds in downloading "fink-0.18.0.tar.gz" every time! However, this does not take me very far as FinkCommander refuses to accept and action the preference "Look for downloads in this directory: /Users/Shared/Downloads".
Move the downloaded tarball to /sw/src. You must have root privileges to do this, so it is best to do it from the command line
sudo mv /Users/Shared/Downloads/fink-0.18.0.tar.gz /sw/src/
Fink will find it there. As to why the automatic download with curl did not work, I have no idea. Are you behind a firewall?
Moving on to Fink Update-all, I am repeatedly encountering this error message:
Failed: Illegal version specification '>= 1:495-1' for package cctools-extra
This may come from the fact that your fink (the package manager, the one that tried to get updated to 0.18.0) is at a too old version. It will probably go away together with the first problem.
