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 .
