I think they've changed it back now, but I added the option to change it using R's options() function: > GNtimezone(32,34) rawOffset dstOffset gmtOffset lng lat 1 2 0 2 34 32 > options(geonamesHost="ws5.geonames.org") > GNtimezone(32,34) rawOffset dstOffset gmtOffset lng lat 1 2 0 2 34 32 to prove it did something: > options(geonamesHost="wtf.huh") > GNtimezone(32,34) Error in url(url, open = "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In url(url, open = "r") : cannot open: HTTP status was '504 Gateway Time-out' It's changed in SVN on r-forge now, that should build a new package version (0.8) and web page docs overnight.
