Hi all,
SourceForge.net has added some mirrors for 
prdownloads.sourceforge.net, and changed the way files are 
downloaded. At the moment this means that quite a few fink 
packages will fail to download. This is an issue which we know 
about and Max is working with the sourceforge team to resolve 
it, it may take a day or two, please be patient.

If you find yourself unable to wait to install a package which 
has a source URL at prdownloads.sourceforge.net, don't worry, 
you can download the source code yourself.
All you have to do is cd into /sw/src and then issue the same 
curl command you saw in the failed download phase, changing 
prdownloads.sourceforge.net to 
unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/

You can then do fink install PACKAGE again and it should work.

Thanks for your patience and understanding,
Peter

For example, if I want to install abiword:

[localhost:~] peter% fink install abiword
sudo /sw/bin/fink install abiword
Information about 1019 packages read in 2 seconds.
pkg abiword  version ###
pkg abiword  version 1.0.1-1
The following package will be installed or updated:
  abiword
curl -f -L -O
