I assume this is a type, and you meant "apt.conf". In which directory do
you find this file? (My installation does not seem to have such a sample
file.)

Here's what my "/etc/apt/sources.list" file looks like:

Your previous post mentioned the error:
>[0%] connecting to ftp.us.debian.org(1.0.0.0)

amiss here.
