I am finishing off some packaging I did awhile ago for the procheck structure validation suite. The source code for this software resides on a really slow ftp server which causes the normal fink source download method to time out. In particular, for the entry....
Source: ftp://ftp.biochem.ucl.ac.uk/pub/procheck/tar3_5/procheck.tar.Z I get... fink -m -k install procheck Scanning package description files..........

Do we have any settings in fink to change the timeout of the curl download or specify that a particular file should be downloaded with wget instead?
