Friedrich, Thank you for your prompt response. Unfortunately, none of the CRAN mirrors seem to be working for me. I'm not really sure what's going on since I was able to download R about a year ago, but I recently got a new computer and needed to download it again. I'll see if my support staff here at the National Institutes of Health have any suggestions.

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(). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------- Friedrich Leisch Institut für Statistik Tel: (+43 1) 58801 10715 Technische Universität Wien Fax: (+43 1) 58801 10798 Wiedner Hauptstraße 8-10/1071 A-1040 Wien, Austria http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~leisch ______________________________________________ R-devel@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
