I'm not using Fink Commander, just plain Fink; I've also gotten errors when trying to update Fink over the last 2 days. Fink can't locate anything using rsync using primary or alternate mirrors (option 3). I thought it might be the time of day I was attempting to update (maybe the servers were being maintained) since it was 2 or 3 am CST each day.
I'll try again no (12:30pm CST) and see if I can get a response now).
Later,

I just started (a day or two ago I guess) getting a whole slew of errors like this in the console when I do fink selfupdate (from fink commander):

The core packages have been updated. You should now update the other packages using commands like 'fink update-all'. ---------------------------------------------------------
and it appears to have worked...but has it?
