can't access the backports

I followed the instructions on the website, but when I open the package manager I get an error message, what's going on and how do I fix it?

here is the text from the message:

"W: Couldn't stat source package list http://backports.ubuntuforums.org hoary-backports/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/backports.ubuntuforums.org_backports_dists_hoary-backports_main_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)

Thank you very much.

You should be using http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/backports, not just backports.ubuntuforums.org.
