quilt can not download the files.  Download them yourself and put them in
the doc directory (or wherever is appropriate).  Read the quilt manual [1],
if you have not yet done it.  In particular, you should set
QUILT_PATCHES=debian/patches (or put it in ~/.quiltrc).

Here is the cookbook:

    mkdir -p debian/patches
    quilt new <patch-name.diff>
    # Do the following *_before_* the files are in place
    # (file1, file2, etc are complete paths, not only filenames)    
    quilt add file1 file2 ...
    # Download the files and put them at the appropriate places    
    quilt refresh
    quilt pop

At this point, <patch-name.diff> should have appeared in debian/patches and
included in patches/series.
