Hello,

What runs underneath is the download.file() function.

Can you download a file with it? For instance, I can do

download.file( "http://www.google.com/index.html";, "index.html" )

Can you?

Best regards,

Hello,

Did you try an alternative CRAN mirror?

Yes, I have tried some of Spain, UK and Italy, but I still get the
same error message....

Mauricio,

I was successfully able to use 'update.packages' using mirrors in both Spain and the UK, so I can't replicate the problem right now. I do recall having a similar issue a couple of weeks ago, but the problem fixed itself within a couple of hours. I just assumed that the mirror I was using was having some downtime.

Are you updating packages under your username or sudo? I think Carlos is on the correct track in that the account or session you are using doesn't have access to the internet for some reason. Have you rebooted your machine lately? That may fix a problem another update created.

Hope this helps,
Michael
