Hi, When I go to the CRAN page to download a new version of R, there are not the same versions available depending on which mirror I pick. When I go to http://cran.cnr.berkeley.edu/, for example, I get 2.2.1, but if I go http://cran.stat.ucla.edu/ the option is 2.2.0 (I'm downloading the Windows base file). Neither refreshing nor clearing my cache changes it. For future reference, I'd like to know if this is a mistake or if different mirrors are just updated at different times? Thanks, Elizabeth Purdom

UCLA apparently hasn't updated since October, which is quite extreme. My guess would be that it is a local bug rather than deliberate policy. -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard ??ster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
