Sort out the local problem with your downloading. It may be your client, so could you perhaps try a different browser, or ftp in binary mode? > I ran md5sum on the downloaded exe file: > > C:\WINDOWS\Temp>md5sum rw1091.exe > c45bbe46e9a9bc1c0995e896f3bd4537 *rw1091.exe > > This seems to be different from what is shown at > http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/md5sum.txt: > > 2e92742add3194fc22ada0cd2634ac61 *rw1091.exe > > What's going on? Something in your downloading is corrupting the file: that's the purpose of md5sums (and the copy I just downloaded has the stated checksum). Is the size correct? (21688072 bytes.) If not, you may be running out of some resource (temp space, for example) during the download. -- Brian D.
