Ok, removing the list folder is not a good idea :-) Just created it 
again and things worked.

The problem remains though.

What I also see is this error:

Err http://kde-redhat.atrpms.net fedora/4/i386/stable pkglist
  Could not open file 
/var/state/apt/lists/partial/kde-redhat.atrpms.net_apt_kde-redhat_fedora_4_i386_
base_pkglist.stable - open (2 No such file or directory)

while a file called kde-redhat.atrpms.net_apt_kde-redhat_fedora_4_i386_
base_pkglist.stable.decomp _does_ exist. Does that mean anything?

I tried your wget/bzip2 test and it does work on my system as well. So 
that's not it, so why still all these errors? Any ideas?

Cheers,

PS: I'll attach the complete update log, maybe it contains anything 
interesting:
