You may have to pick a new continent to get a new binary distribution
mirror.  Either that, or I think you can manually change Mirror-apt in
/sw/etc/fink.conf (which you'll have to edit as a superuser) and have it
point to one of the following mirrors:

http://fink.sodan.ecc.u-tokyo.ac.jp/bindist/bindist
http://bindist.ber.de.eu.finkmirrors.net
http://ams.nl.eu.finkmirrors.net/bindist
http://sjc.ca.us.finkmirrors.net/bindist
