On a Debian 4.0 Gnome installation with all outstanding security updates applied as of yesterday, I get the following error when doing an "apt-get update":
Code:

Reading package lists... Done
E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Can anyone tell me what has happened and what action should be taken to resolve this problem?
Below is a listing of the /etc/apt/sources.list:
