Problems with apt

I just installed apt on a fresh install of FC3, and I haven't been able to 
get it to do anything.

Here's what I installed:

# rpm -q apt
apt-0.5.15cnc6-12.r362

When I try to do an update, here's what I get:

# apt-get update
Fetching list of repositories/mirrors...
E: Failed to fetch mirror list file:

(with nothing beyond the colon)

I have edited /etc/apt/sources.list with data from 
http://www.xades.com/proj/fedora_repos.html to no avail.

Is there anything I could be doing wrong, or anything else I need to edit 
(such as apt.conf, etc)? I have used apt on previous Fedora installs with 
no problems, all I  remember having to do was finding a working sources.list.

Thanks,

Shane
