Try:
deb ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian woody non-free
It appears that the ftp method grabs a gzip'd version, where http
doesn't...
Either that, or the http method is requesting Packages with
a possibility of gzip encoding, and the server's not responding
the way it expects. I've had Mozilla give me lip about that too. :-)
The ftp method obviously would just ask for what it wants, since
ftp doesn't have the same level of intelligence in the protocol.
