Hello, Thanks for the answer. No, in the end there's no problem, just a warning.

As (I think) you notice below yourself, the problem is not with the regular CRAN repos but with the 'CRANextra' repos that R users of Windows use sometimes. We had heard offline of a potential timeout/downtime for a short period at Oxford for that, so this may be the simple explanation. On the other hand everything ends up working fine, so all this is just a warning, right? If I do the same thing I don't have to wait and get the same warning as you (and when I then decide to use the older *binary* for igraph that is installed fine).
