stupid apt problem

I just decided to update my RH 9 laptop to fedora 9.0.93.  I've used
apt-rpm many times, so familiar with that, just never done an apt-get
dist-upgrade before.  So I download the Fedora apt RPM, install ok, but
try to apt-get update from any sites, and I get a lot of:
"Failed to fetch ftp://.... Size mismatch" errors

and of course then trying apt-get dist-upgrade fails miserably.  When
doing an apt-get dist-upgrade you put the version you want to upgrade
to, right?  (/pub/linux/fedora/fedora redhat/9.0.93/i386 os stable
updates)

I know this is probably something stupid...or is it easier to download
the .iso's and do it that way?  It seemed from the webpage the "proper"
way to do it was via apt so I thought I'd try.

Thanks,
Dan
