Those are two different files.
The first file would be located at
http://ftp2.jp.debian.org/debian/testing/updates/main/<your-architecture-here>/Packages.gz
(Architecture would be something like binary-i386 or binary-amd64. .gz
could also be .bz2 and newer APTs also support .xz)
The second file would be
http://ftp2.jp.debian.org/debian/testing/main/<your-architecture-here>/Packages.diff/2010-06-23-2114.45.gz
This second file is a diff between two Packages.gz files. The idea being
that downloading a bunch of diffs is easier than re-downloading a large
Gzip file.
Now, look back at those two URLs. One major difference between them is
the first is "testing/updates/main", the other is "testing/main". Having
a look at the site, I see that "testing/updates/main" doesn't exist.
Sounds like an error in your sources.list.
