That's a problem connecting to the mirror.  Try a different one.  (You 
can do this from the menus in the GUI, or from the console using 
chooseCRANmirror().)

It's not a problem connecting, but either a permissions issue or there  
is just nothing there:


  http://cms.unipune.ernet.in/computing/cran

That URL is 'Not Found'.

I don't see that mirror (or any mirrors in India) on the 'official'  
mirror list, but if legit, might be worthwhile contacting the mirror  
Admin to see what's up.


That being said, definitely use a different mirror in the mean time.

HTH,
