Joel,
This should be a temporary issue, I can reach the failed URL.

Did an upgrade (of packages) from within RStudio from same and that also
worked out well.
So, in the first instance, try again :-)-O
CRAN has many mirrors, but I strongly advise for using RStudio which
figures this out for themselves in addition to many other advantages
(such as sponsoring the mirroring service in the first place), so you
could try the closest mirror from https://cran.r-project.org/mirrors.html.
R Studio sponsors cloud.... but not all mirrors.
For myself, I would not use RStudio as it does what you describe: Lots
of things I do not want to be done. So I typically never give advise
which editor or environment to use, as that is a matter of taste.

Hi,
I'm a R newbie having some problems.
The special PACKAGES file seems to be missing for version 3.6:
https://cloud.r-project.org/bin/macosx/el-capitan/contrib/3.6/PACKAGES
This is causing install.packages() to fail, which forces installation
from source:

Have I made som mistake or is this a real problem?
Many thanks for any help.
Best regards,
