It’s hard to tell what’s going on based on the little information that you provided.  For example, we don’t know what mirrors you tried.  I _can_ say that this is a recent update, so if you were using our mirrors rather than the original source the tarball might not yet have been copied at the time of your attempt.  Here’s what I’m seeing right now:

curl --connect-timeout 30 -f -L -A 'fink/0.38.3' -O http://distfiles.master.finkmirrors.net/distfiles/libffi-3.2.1.tar.gz

(1)	Give up
(2)	Retry the same mirror
(3)	Retry another mirror from your continent
(4)	Retry another mirror
(5)	Retry using original source URL

Try again, and select the original source URL option.
