Sounds like a plan. What holes are there and I'm still not sure I
understand what you mean by changing into ftp; those addresses worked
perfectly when I replaced my sources.list with those exact entries. If
you just reinstall you still won't have the mirrors you want but at
least things will work.

If you just use exactly those four addresses I gave you and you do a
'sudo apt-get update' does it freak out? What are the error messages?
(I can't help if I don't know what the messages are) If you post the
errors (even if they're in another language) I might still be able to
figure out what's going on.
