Check this URL yourself to find how our archives are arranged!

 http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/experimental/

I only see:

[DIR]   contrib/        05-Apr-2009 13:31       -
[DIR]   main/           05-Apr-2009 13:31       -
[DIR]   non-free/       05-Apr-2009 13:31       - 

If you need contents in "non-free" and "contrib", add them.  There is no
"restricted" in Debian.  You are confused with Ubuntu.

By the way, in "experimental" we only have 
 * "povray" in non-free and 
 * "bitlbee-skype" and "libjgrapht-java" in contrib.

Quite honestly, if you are asking this question, you may not be ready
for experimental.  Please read following first:
