If you'd installed using the expert mode you'd've been asked your region
and given a list of local mirrors to choose from. No matter.
I replaced a sources.list on one of my boxes with yours - tested fine.
NOTE: I commented out deb-src, you only need those if you're building
from source.
==============tested as working=============
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
# deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main
# deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze/updates main
# squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile'
deb http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
deb-src http://ftp.au.debian.org/debian/ squeeze-updates main
=============================================
It could be a problem with the dns you're using - either use another dns
(edit /etc/resolv.conf), or add the following addresses to your /etc/hosts.
http.us.debian.org 128.30.2.36
security.debian.org 128.101.240.212
ftp.au.debian.org 150.203.164.37
It could also be the mirror is being updated - check with your browser,
there'll be a note warning of an upgrade in process if that's the case.
If it's being upgraded, choose another mirror.
