Deleted apt sources.list file
I accidentally deleted my sources.list file in the apt folder and now none of my apt commands are working. I tried to download the list again but couldn't find the link. I am using Ubuntu 10.04. Can someone tell me how to tackle the issue or can give me the download the lists again?
There is a really useful website for that.

all the answers on this questions are outdated by now, which is logical.
If you're still using old release (Ubuntu < 12.04)and still want to get updates using apt-get use the following source.list file:
