It said you had to include stable and main, look at the examples or google for a sources.lst that someone has that works.
What does your sources.list look like since it works for you? I've not touched any of the Debian-specific entries in there. I don't understand why I need to include stable when Squeeze isn't stable.
I don't know but even wine is available.
What is edu for ?
Also look at my sources list.
My cd was testing,but when i installed it was commented out.I did backports and multimedia,but I think multimedia is availabe through software center.
Is your system pretty new?
From what I see you don't need testing.

The only reason I use the .edu mirror is because it's unmetered on my ISP (I live in Australia, so we have data caps). It's also the closest mirror to me. You do not need a login and password: http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au, I've sucessfully used this mirror for other distros as well.
My system was installed, probably in the first week of December from the Squeeze CD.
This is now my sources.list:
