question about apt-get

What do I have to do when I get this error using apt-get : "Couldn't stat source package list [server]"? I recently modified my sources.list and I get this error. 10x!!!

Try late the mirrors in your sources.list my be down or update your list to new mirrors.

the list of mirrors may always be found in the file http://www.debian.org/mirror/mirrors_full.

Or you can "su" to root and try "apt-setup".

Everyone seems to be missing the obvious, he made changes in the sources.list file===

"Do not forget to run apt-get update after modifying the /etc/apt/sources.list file. You must do this to let APT obtain the package lists from the sources you specified."
