There hasn't been a non-us repository in debian for quite some time.
As such, I would simply remove that second line entirely.
You may have better luck substituting ftp for http in your sources
list lines for debian as well.

If you want things to succeed, I don't think you can have a 'non-free'
line standing by itself like that; precede it with a '#' (comment).

Same comment applies - remove non-US.

Generally, if you're not in the US, then change it to the mirror for
your home country. There is a list of mirrors but I'm not familiar
with them - or if some are markedly better in throughput than others
and just as complete and updated (that helps as well).
Back in the days when I was running Mandrake (aka Mandriva) I would
tend to use either a norwegian or swedish mirror - those gave good
throughput, as fast as my 1.5 mbps dsl link could handle. But I
normally would do updates when I got home from work, which would be
about 6-7PM Pacific time, and as such in the wee hours of the morning
at the ftp site - so less traffic.
