"404 Not Found" means that the file does not exist at that address. Either the url is wrong, or someone failed to put the file on the server, or something like that.

It's a server error. It has nothing to do with your system.

404 not found as it's not there. All I've done is knock off the file name and I get a directory listing:
http://archive.offensive-security.co...bs/libsndfile/

[DIR] Parent Directory -
[ ] libsndfile1-dev_1.0.17-4ubuntu0.8.10.2_i386.deb 16-Oct-2009 00:05 318K
[ ] libsndfile1_1.0.17-4ubuntu0.8.10.2_i386.deb 16-Oct-2009 00:05 193K

Not sure - is this what you want:
http://archive.offensive-security.co....10.2_i386.deb

Did you update you add/remove list before you tried installing it?
