Mistake /etc/apt/sources.list

Some old sites I used for Ubuntu Feisty Fawn seem to have been tampered with...

I entered the following command paste/copy from the site:

wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

when I entered this command:

sudo wget http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/sources.list.d/feisty.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

The effect was not desired:

E: Type '<!DOCTYPE' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list

I read the /etc/apt/sources.list file and I can't find what trouble there is that the list cannot be read:

#deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 8.04 _Hardy Heron_ - Release i386 (20080423)]/ hardy main restricted
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted
deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy main restricted

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hardy-updates main restricted
