Re: [R] problem downloading R
This was quite some time ago. Namely, 2019. At the time, I was using a mix of old Windows 8 and 9 computers. The problem happened on Windows 8, but not Windows 9. Note that I was trying to help the OP. Beyond that, I'm not concerned about it. On Fri, Mar 5, 2021 at 9:30 PM Uwe Ligges wrote: > > Sounds like you always got corrupted vesions.

Re: [R] problem downloading R
Sounds like you always got corrupted vesions. Either an issue with your connection or the mirror. What happens if you try another mirror and clear your browser caches?

And one quickly realizes, that every subsequent file will have the same message. Then if you re-download the installation file, the same thing happens. Except that the first file flagged as corrupted, is not necessarily the same file. On Fri, Mar 5, 2021 at 5:55 AM Dick Mathews wrote: I am trying to download the Windows version of R.

Re: [R] problem downloading R
Does the following sound familiar? The Windows installer starts installing (or decompressing) R, flashing one file name at a time. And then, part way through, says file is corrupt, and gives you the choice to ignore. And if you click ignore, then the next file does the same thing. And one quickly realizes, that every subsequent file will have the same message. Then if you re-download the installation file, the same thing happens. Except that the first file flagged as corrupted, is not necessarily the same file. On Fri, Mar 5, 2021 at 5:55 AM Dick Mathews wrote: > > I am trying to download the Windows version of R.

If you get the same problem on that mirror, then you've likely got something interfering with your download. You could try using a different machine to download, and install from a USB stick or some other non-network method.

Re: [R] problem downloading R
Not much. Try a different mirror site. Try disabling anti-virus download filters. If you are using a cloud-backed directory like OneDrive, try downloading and installing on a standard local disk.

I am trying to download the Windows version of R. This computer is Win7, I do have Win10 computers also. Tried R4.0.4, got message these files are corrupted. Then tried R4.0.3, got same message as above. Tried the next, R4.0.2, got same message. I checked to see if I was downloading the proper version, seems okay. What is the problem?
