ok, there are some tcp/ip - domain name issues here. I cannot resolve either us.debian.org or non-us.debian.org. I can resolve debian.org and security.debian.org no problem
This all applies equally to my linux box and to my windows laptop.
I'll be looking into it from my end also.

never mind. I mistakenly thought
http://http. etc was a typo, in fact I confirmed from debian documentation that it is not. So after fixing my sources.list exactly the way you showed, the install seems to have worked fine. I still couldn't resolve non-us.debian.org, but that didn't seem to hinder the download, even though I am from Canada.
