In addition to using passive mode for FTP, fink will use HTTP and FTP proxies. You would use whatever port your proxy requires. Some users have experienced time-out issues with curl even in the absence of a firewall. It would be useful to see a sample of a failed download attempt to see whether the problem is due to a mirror that is known to be bad. One workaround for not being able to download sources is to download them in your browser and move them into /sw/src . You will have to use the exact same version that Fink does. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
