Download netselect and try this. Netselect requires wget.
1) bash$ netselect-apt <version>
Use either stable or unstable or testing for <version>. This will generate the fastest site and create a sources.list in the CURRENT directory. You can then use move this to /etc/apt/ and then run:
apt-get update
Hope this helps.

I'm not familiar with Progeny, but to add a new source for packages, you
add a line to your /etc/apt/sources.list. /var/lib/apt/lists (which I
believe would have the same type of content) has the Packages Sources
and Release files from the different systems.
If you are adding a lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list, you should think
about what you want to install. Do you want Woody (stable), Sarge
(testing), or Sid (unstable). A line from my system (I have 7):
deb ftp://mirror.direct.ca/pub/linux/debian unstable main contrib non-free
You should read sources.list(5), decide upon your mirror of choice, then
add the appropriate lines.

1) Add the appropriate lines to your sources.list
2) apt-get update
3) apt-get dist-upgrade
