I am still having a problem accessing CRAN here in Florida (at 9:00 AM EST
Friday morning):
+ install.packages(select.list(a[,1],,TRUE), .libPaths()[1], available=a)}
trying URL `http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/PACKAGES'
unable to connect to 'cran.r-project.org'.
Error in download.file(url = paste(contriburl, "PACKAGES", sep =
"/"), :
cannot open URL
`http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/contrib/PACKAGES'

Is that correct?I think yes. Franz does a URL rewrite and sends you to the relevant site. They work for me from here (at least the 1st three).> I cannot get a reply when pinging these sites.
