Basically exactly like the deb lines put in there for you, except with the
server changed.

deb http://mirror.nblug.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
or
deb ftp://mirror.nblug.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
or
deb http://mirror.nblug.org/debian/ woody main non-free contrib
or
deb http://mirror.nblug.org/debian/ stable main

It's "deb" or "deb-src" (or rpm or rpm-src for apt-rpm setups), then the
"base" URL, then which distribution (we have Debian3.0r0, woody and stable
-- all aliases for the same thing at the moment;
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ has  Debian2.2r7, Debian3.0r0,
old-proposed-updates, oldstable, potato-proposed-updates, potato,
proposed-updates, sarge-proposed-updates, sarge, sid, stable,
testing-proposed-updates, testing, unstable, woody-proposed-updates, and
woody)
               
NBLUG is an incomplete mirror, I just have the stuff people are most likely
to hit.  You know, architecture independent and x86, the "popular" release. 
I'm getting really tempted to add powerpc in there, though; and ISOs.

You'd do alright with just this in /etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://mirror.nblug.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ stable main  non-free contrib
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main non-free contrib
deb-src http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main non-free contrib
deb http://security.debian.org stable/updates main contrib non-free
