You have to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file. Take as an example what is written in there.

it's little things like that that will give you problems when adding mirrors... personally i'd use synaptic to add.. it's nicer to the common man =D

Maybe take a look at apt-spy. It searches for mirrors in your vicinity (you can define a country, such as US, or a state, or Europe...) and writes the fastest one to your /etc/apt/sources.list. You can also add any additional mirrors by hand or with synaptic. Note that checking all of the mirrors in the US or Europe can take a while
I left it running overnight
