I tried to select a mirror site from R, but got the following error -> chooseCRANmirror()Warning message: In open.connection(con, "r") : unable to connect to 'cran.r-project.org' on port 80. The consequence is that i have to install R-packages by downloading zip files one by one, and then load them one by one. Anybody has run into similiar problem? Thanks. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/unable-to-connect-to-%27cran.r-project.org%27-on-port-80.-tp25084138p25084138.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
