I overlooked your mail.
You try to reach http://ftp.debian.org/dists/ but the right path is
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/
/dists/ is a very old path, working on the old ftp.d.o backend, but that will
not be kept in the future.
Your sources.list should look like:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free
Or better, select a mirror closer to you in http://www.debian.org/mirror/list
deb http://ftp.it.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main non-free
