Do:

  sudo nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list

In a terminal to edit the file.  Just find each instance of http:// and change 
it to ftp://

Save with Ctrl-X followed by Y followed by return.



You can also use:

 sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

for GNOME's graphical editor, or:

 sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list

for KDE's.
