Also not meeting related can somebody tell me what line to put in /etc/apt/sources.list to get Debian archives from the non-US archives. I've tried the default line and modifying the file but apt complains it can't find the packages.gz file.
For unstable (potato):
deb ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US unstable/non-US main contrib non-free or deb-src ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian unstable/non-US main contrib non-free
For stable (slink):
deb ftp://ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US or deb ftp://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian stable non-US
You might like to include one from stable and one from unstable, just to make sure you're not missing anything. See deb package 'netselect' for a good way to find out which server is better for you.
