Actually if our server is down that shouldn't affect mirroring too
much (most mirroring software is smart enough not to delete everything
is the master site is unreacheable), but URLs of form
cran.XX.r-project.org
may not work because most of them do not have a DNS entry but are
apache redirections by our server. In that case simply use a CRAN
mirror with a non r-project.org address, a current list can be
obtained by running
read.csv(file.path(R.home(), "doc", "CRAN_mirrors.csv", as.is=TRUE))[,"URL"]
in a recent version of R ... I'll encapsulate that into a
one-liner CRAN_mirrors().
