Yes, I think I understand the general format in the examples you used but
my question is about the format of the examples I listed above. It seems
to me that there are some errors in them, ie., / and spaces in wrong
places.
They are shown in the exact form that I downloaded them and they
didn't seem to
work when I ran apt or dselect--resulting in error 1.
Could you please comment on whether or not the points I marked are
correct
or wrong?
The formats looked wrong. I was assuming you wrote them. Did you
download them somewhere?

Incidently, the address you gave:
http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/download.pl
resulted in the following:
Internal error: Required parameter "file" is missing.
If the problem persists, please inform webmaster@debian.org.
Did I misunderstand something?
It was probably because i arrived at that link indirectly.
When you go to the page of a specific debian package, click
the download button. It will take you to a list of mirrors
with http and ftp addresses which is what your sources.list
should have a few of.
