.. as is obvious once I look at it closely. Is that mixture of stable,
testing and unstable with good intentions and I assume you know what you
are doing ? Which version do you actually run ? What does 

cat /etc/debian_version

and 

cat /etc/apt/apt.conf

say ?

In case you are rather a newbie, why not 

apt-get install netselect

followed by

cd /etc/apt/ 

and 

netselect-apt <version> with <version> being the one you actually want to
run ? This is a great tool to collect the relevant mirrors and identify
the 'closest' to your place.
Take care, it will overwrite your existing sources.list; so make a 

cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.old

before !

Good luck !
