[Rd] CRAN master, R-Forge, R-Project websites down
Dear R users and developers, Due to a failure of the electrical system, the IT services (also hosting R-project related websites) of the WU (Vienna University of Economics and Business) are currently unavailable. Affected websites and services are: CRAN master (cran.r-project.org), the R-project website (www.r-project.org) and R-Forge (r-forge.r-project.org). The R binaries and sources as well as packages can still be downloaded by any CRAN mirrors distributed all over the world. Please select a different mirror than "Austria" in R (GUI). We apologize for any inconvenience. Best regards, Stefan Theussl -- GMX.at - ?sterreichs FreeMail-Dienst mit ?ber 2 Mio Mitgliedern E-Mail, SMS & mehr!

E.g., for cran.dk.r-project.org, you currently need to know that the server is actually http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/cran/ or get stuck waiting for a response from Vienna. There seems to be similar issues with the UK and DE (and IT and CH and...) mirrors, but not with the US one. -p> > Best regards, > Stefan Theussl > -- > GMX.at - ?sterreichs FreeMail-Dienst mit ?ber 2 Mio Mitgliedern > E-Mail, SMS & mehr!
