First, see the status links in the first para of
http://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html . So it seems that the issue is not that the mirror is not accessible, but the part you are looking for is not current/available.

yes indeed. For one "R for Windows" > "contrib" deny access, and for the other has no 2.14/ folder


Second, the mirror list is
http://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv
and that lists the maintainers. It is also in your R distribution, in directory 'doc' (but that is as old as your distribution, and mirrors do change).

Got it ! Thanks. Also fubbling in the chooseCRANmirror() doc I also discovered that getCRANmirrors() returns a data.frame with the maintainer address; looking into the function it either straight reads http://cran.r-project.org/CRAN_mirrors.csv, and if no connection reads de csv file stored in the local directory 'doc'.

Now the info about accessibility/availability has been conveyed to the maintainers.

Thanks again,

However, I don't know how to get in touch with the webmasters in charge.

Any idea about hos to signal the trouble ?
