I am attempting to install TLP for my Thinkpad T410 following the directions from here:
http://linrunner.de/en/tlp/docs/tlp-lin … ement.html
after running apt-get update it tells me this:
W: Failed to fetch http://repo.linrunner.de/debian/dists/DIST/main/binary-amd64/Packages 404 Not Found
E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
Here is my sources.list:
#
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8 _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150909-03:19]/ jessie contrib main non-free
# deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 8 _Jessie_ - Official Snapshot amd64 LIVE/INSTALL Binary 20150909-03:19]/ jessie contrib main non-free

# added by bl-welcome
# Multimedia repository
deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org jessie main non-free
deb http://repo.linrunner.de/debian DIST main
Am I doing something wrong or is it more likely the package was removed from the repo sever?

The meaning of life is to just be alive. It is so plain and so obvious
and so simple. And yet everybody rushes aroound in a great panic
as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.

http://repo.linrunner.de/debian/dists/stable/main/ works OK in a browser
And if you read the install notes it says
Notes:
Replace DIST with wheezy, jessie, stretch, sid (or oldstable, stable, testing, unstable).

TLP is available in testing/unstable
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/tlp
*Do not* be tempted to add testing/unstable lines to /etc/apt/sources.list
Instead, follow this simple guide to backport the package yourself:

Yeah, I tried every single option after the word DIST.
Same 404.

Read again what I posted: Replace "DIST" with the name of the source.
Did you get the public key?
...and as HoaS said, it is safer to backport a Debian package instead of getting it from an outside source.

As I was going through backporting and I ran the command
rmadison tlp --architecture amd64
It came back and said "none"
From this page: https://packages.debian.org/sid/tlp I found a download link to here:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/tlp/download
Oh look, a .deb file.
Installed and working.

That's not a good idea.
You'll get away with it for TLP as the dependencies are matched but doing what you just did can completely wreck a system.
For the record, I have just backported it using these commands:
sudo apt install devscripts equivs packaging-dev debian-keyring
dget -x http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/t/tlp/tlp_0.8-1
cd tlp-0.8.dsc
sudo mk-build-deps --install --remove
dch --local ~bpo8+ --distribution jessie-backports "Rebuild for jessie-backports."
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -uc
Not very difficult and far less likely to brick your box...

Coolness.
Time for some education. What is backporting and why is it necessary?
Back when I was running Mint, the word backporting never came up. If I want a package it's an apt-get away or an add ppa, then apt-get away.
Not that I want to go back to Mint, I'm just trying to learn.
Thanks.

Backports are recompiled packages from testing (mostly) and unstable (in a few cases only, e.g. security updates) in a stable environment so that they will run without new libraries (whenever it is possible) on a Debian stable distribution

I see. Thanks.
