Maybe there is a problem with the mirror at the University of Vienna; it
is only a partial mirror anyway. Why don't you try the primary Debian
mirror in Austria, with the following 2 entries in sources.list:

deb http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib
deb-src http://ftp.at.debian.org/debian/ sarge main non-free contrib

You should also add a line for the security updates:

deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free

(You can keep the other configuration if you want, just comment out
those lines temporarily.)
