1)  With your favourite text editor, open up the 
file /etc/apt/sources.list

2)  Comment out the old source entry with a "#":

#deb ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free

3)  Insert the following line:

deb http://archive.debian.org/debian sarge main contrib non-free

4)  Save the file and run:

# apt-get update

You should be in business at this point.
