For several weeks I have been unable to complete sudo fink selfupdate. I either get a simple timeout, or an error like what is pasted below. Changing mirrors does not help.

I did not have this issue when updating my machine at work--only here at home. I recently changed to a different ISP (cable to DSL), so I'm wondering whether that might be involved. I've had a few intermittent glitches with my e-mail and ftp performance (hangs when attempting to upload, unless I quit and restart the application) that might be related to this change of service.

I will now run the rsync command to retrieve the latest package descriptions.

Changing ISPs may well account for what you're seeing. You might just need to keep trying to selfupdate until it works.

When you switched ISPs did you move to PPPoE? I had problems with rsync when Verizon moved me from a static IP to PPPoE but once I fiddled with my firewall (a NetBSD box) everything worked again. (don't remember what I had to do -- it was awhile ago).
