R help - Mar 2003 - How to collect the Rtools to build packages

After reading the readme.packages file, I would like to install the R tools
in order to build my own packages, but the internet portal
http://www.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/ hasn't been working since a few days.
Where can I get the file tools.zip?
Thank you!
Eric Esposito

It _is_ working: I have just checked from outside Oxford.  It was
unavailable for a few hours on Saturday (the server was being upgraded)  
but has otherwise been up (and that file downloaded successfully several
times a day) for all of the last ten days.

ftp://ftp.stats.ox.ac.uk/pub/Rtools/tools.zip will also work, in case your
problem is with your http client.

It has been working for me!  I went there two days ago, and a few hours ago,
and just went again.  All the time I can view the page fine.

Cheers,
