still no luck with apt-get

[Matt Garman <garman@crh3019.urh.uiuc.edu>]

I still can't get "apt-get update" do do anything useful.  Anyone have
a clue?

Here's my /etc/apt/sources.list

# Use for a local mirror - remove the ftp1 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, especial
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
deb http://ftp1.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free

And the errors:

Get http://ftp1.us.debian.org stable/contrib Packages
