You need another package installed to do the ftp transfers (see the apt
guide).  But here is my file anyway:

# Use for a local mirror - remove the llug http lines for the bits
# your mirror contains.
# deb file:/your/mirror/here/debian stable main contrib non-free
# See sources.list(5) for more information
# Remember that you can only use http or file URIs
deb http://ftp1.us.debian.org/debian frozen main contrib non-free
#deb http://llug.sep.bnl.gov/debian frozen main contrib non-free
deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-non-US/ unstable/binary-$(ARCH)/
deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian frozen main contrib non-free
#deb ftp://nonus.debian.org/pub/debian-non-US/ unstable/binary-$(ARCH)/
#deb ftp://debian.crosslink.net/pub/debian/ frozen main contrib non-free

HTH,
Brandon
