That page lists 'ftp.us.debian.org' as a secondary mirror for the United
States that load-balances among a group of five sites that include
mirrors.kernel.org.  mirrors.kernel.org, in turn, appears to be an alias
that ultimately resolves to mirrors.us.kernel.org, which is a machine
that's not responding to ping at the moment.  (It's probably offline for 
security checking.)

ftp.debian.org works (as an http mirror).

If on the stable branch, you could do this in sources.list:

deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free con`trib
deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ stable main non-free contrib
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free
