Dave,

Thanks again. I decided to retry via Terminal, but still don't get anywhere:

macbook:~ des$ fink selfupdate
Password:

The file "CURRENT-FINK-10.5" already exists.

(1)	Delete it and download again
(2)	Assume it is a partial download and try to continue
(3)	Don't download, use existing file

How do you want to proceed? [1]
curl --connect-timeout 30 -f -L -A 'fink/0.27.13' -O

You already have the package descriptions from the latest Fink point 
release. (installed:0.9.0 available:10.5-0.9.0)
macbook:~ des$ fink index

Decided to force a scan of the packages and then index again:
