Full_Name: Lawrence Jack Winkler
Version: 2.7.1
OS: OSX Leopard 10.5.4
Submission from: (NULL) (216.170.232.85)


I receive the following error when attempting to Get List of packages in the
Package Installer GUI interface:

Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://www.stathy.com/cran/bin/macosx/universal/contrib/2.7

Warning: unable to access index for repository
http://www.stathy.com/cran/src/contrib when attempting Get List of CRAN
(sources)

However, if specifically downloaded and R CMD INSTALL <pkgname> executed,
the
packages installed.

This is a broken mirror, not an R bug.  You should contact the admin at 
www.stathy.com (or use a different mirror).

Is that mirror in the standard list?
