Post your /etc/apt/sources.list.  Obviously you've typed the above in
yourself, so it may be wrong.  If it's correct though, you'd want to
consider renaming Hoary to hoary.  It's always important to be careful of
case in anything that might be a filename or URL.

Also, you'd be better off to use one of the local mirrors
"http://xx.archive.ubuntu.com/" where xx is a country code near you.
