Wait, you said you were using fink-0.36.3.1, but that shows fink-0.36.1. 
  fink-0.36.3.1 has an updated sourceforge mirror list.

You might try the following:

1)  Grab branch_0.36.zip from the "Download Zip" button on 
https://github.com/fink/fink/tree/branch_0_36

2)  Unzip that file if your browser hasn't already done it.

3)  Remove /sw and then bootstrap from the source you just downloaded (I 
have fink-branch_0.36).
