I have a problem with 'apt-get update' command and it
bugs me for weeks. I've tried to update Debian with
the command 'apt-get update' and it failed to fetch
packages. I've fixed the etc/apt/sources.list file but
It doesn't help me at all. I've tried apt-setup and
it failed as well with the same message such as
'Failed to fetch'. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the error produced by apt-get update:

Your sources.list, as posted, isn't formatted well.
How do you connect to the Internet? Dialup, DSL, cable?
Do you have a proxy or router in between you and the Internet?
Tell us what this command does?
wget http://debian.yorku.ca/debian/dists/sarge/Release
