Ahemm... You know, there ARE documentations about the Debian software
archive concepts, much more than I could write in a small mail. I am not
an "RTFM" person usually, but I would recommend that you read about the
meaning of the "-t unstable" option of apt-get, and reconsider if you
really want to "downgrade" every package to "testing", since you
apparently attempted to do this.
Also, please run apt-get update for updateing the package database.
