Can you ftp files from the site?  If "apt" cannot get the files then I
bet "ftp" cannot, either.  And vice versa: if you succeed with ftp then
maybe apt needs some more hints.

Notice that this is the standard ftp repository for Squeak, so the
problem here has ramification beyond the Debian packages.

I do not know what to do about alternative access.  Perhaps the UIUC
folks could point an HTTP server at the same directory tree?

Almost certainly the firewall is involved.  You may want to talk to the
person running the firewall, for more ideas. -Lex
