Hi,
It may be a problem with the mirror and my location. However, I should
have added that the following packages had no problems installing from
that mirror and location, which is why I suspected it was something more.
RBloomberg
strucchange
car
lmtest
nlme
corrgram
RODBC
MSBVAR
xtable
vars
tseries
PerformanceAnalytics
fArma
In addition to tseries and robustbase, I am also having problems with
numDeriv. Strange.
Nothing dire, as one can just download the zip files locallly and install,
which is what I did.
I thought I would bring it to the lists attention in case it is something
package specific, and if so, the fix would benefit others. If there is
another list to which one should report suspected package/mirror issues,
please let me know and I can use that in the future.
The commands used are below.
Regards,
Tolga

Re: [R] problems with *downloading* packages tseries and robustbase
It works from my home ISP (Virgin Media) and from .ox.ac.uk, so I think
the problem is local to you, perhaps your DNS server. Ask you IT support
for erm ... support.
Please do try to use an accurate subject line (see the posting guide).
(Why don't peoople just try a different mirror or some IP/TCP debugging
tools instead of asking here about problems with mirrors? At most a
handful of readers can do anything about this.)
