Yeah, this isn't something that can be done in FinkCommander, apart from 
using selfupdate-cvs to switch methods.  Using "fink configure" from the 
CLI will work, but it's not particularly fine-grained--you'd wind up 
picking Europe or Asia for all of your mirrors first.  Editing 
/sw/etc/fink.conf in TextWrangler works fine; the field you would want 
to change is Mirror-rsync .
