Is CRAN having trouble or is it just me? (The web interface is very slow and install.packages() is timing out and giving me "service not available").

Try using a different mirror - the ones I tried are all very snappy so if that doesn't help it's your connection.

Obviously it might not get it right if a site is being slow or inconsistent, but its a handy check when you get a flat non-response.
