apt-get and the ftp method

apt-get using http works fine, but I have problems using the ftp method. My sources.list shows: deb ftp://ftp.it.net.au/debian frozen main contrib non-free deb ftp://ftp.it.net.au/debian-non-US frozen/non-US main contrib non-free but apt-get gives: elm:# apt-get update Ign file: unstable/main
