Actually, it says that ftp3.sourceforge.net returned a redirect, which
apt deliberately does not support (it's been discussed in the past).

The redirect says to try unc.dl.sourceforge.net rather than
ftp3.sourceforge.net; does that help? (Although I don't understand why
you need it when you already have ftp.us.debian.org.)
