And it has nothing to do with Wubi BTW.

To me it looks like you messed up the URL (unless you just wrote it wrong 
here). There are options added to the URL and then it is no wonder the 
server doesn't know where to find the file. 

Try this, it should be fairly safe to copy and paste the individual lines 
one after the other:

URL="http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list"
FILE="/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list"
sudo wget $URL --output-document=$FILE
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring
sudo apt-get update
